Get a Job: Prep!
I really don’t know what I was thinking when I decided to do a blog post every day this week on job searching tips. Given my past posting record, posting every day is in itself quite a feat, but then I pick the very week that the Harry Potter finale opens, and yes, I’ll be…
Tech Tip Tuesday: Get a Job
Day 2 of the ‘Get a Job’ week and since it is Tuesday, the focus will be on technology. There are a lot of websites dedicated to getting a job or managing your career. There are some big players in the job search market, such as CareerBuilder and Monster, but don’t discount some others that…
Why Don’t You Get a Job?
Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Notice how the meaning of that one question can change based on where you put the emphasis. Searching for a job isn’t an easy task to begin with and it is even more difficult in this economy….
Tech Tip Tuesday: Learning Languages
Ironically, my last post was on taking some tech-free time. For a change, I did somewhat heed my own advice, at least as far as the blog went.

Say What?!?
On May 11, I had the pleasure of presenting at the South Central Chapter of the Pennsylvania Library Association. My topic was on how to be a better public speaker. Public speaking is not something that most people enjoy doing; in fact, it often appears in the top ten of lists of fears and phobias….
2011 New Year’s Resolutions
I started my blog after New Year’s so I didn’t do a traditional New Year’s post about my resolutions for the year. I’m haven’t always been a big fan of New Year’s resolutions because I, like many, would diligently and thoughtfully think out my resolutions and would do exceptionally well at keeping them…for a few…
Tech Tip Tuesday: Keep Track of your Running with RunKeeper
I mentor with a running group for women called First Strides. It is a fun and very rewarding way to stay focused on running. I get to work with very interesting women. Last fall, several mentors bought these very cool watches that track your distance, your pace, calories burned, your heartrate, and many other things. …
