…unless you’re looking for mediocrity. Because that’s what happens when we

boil down our accomplishments into a one page memo, and
convince ourselves we can make a good decision based on a one-page memo.

Seth Godin hires interns and notes a resume is “an excuse to reject you.” If you’re truly exceptional you don’t need a resume. [...]

Many of us often wonder “what is it I really want to be doing?” I know that I’ve had a fun time trying to determine what I’m good at, what I’m not, what I enjoy doing, and what I don’t. A little background: I’ve never had just one job at a time since the end [...]

This weekend was the third iteration of Community Next and it was focused on developing for platforms (in other words: how to make money off of Facebook). I’ve been tossing around some ideas myself and only needed to listen to one or two panels to determine following:

The “bubble” has decentralized. Instead of one big commotion [...]

Did you know you can help recruiters? You typically think of them as someone you need to know and you require in order to get a job. But what if you already have a job and aren’t looking to move? What if you have a network of upcoming or recent college graduates? Well, in that [...]

One of the most overlooked resources at Universities would easily be the professors. Sure, my evidence may be anecdotal but I have a sneeky suspicion that many students forgot how awesome professors can be. For starters, they’ve all been out in the “real world” and certainly have some “real world” experience to offer you. Sit [...]

When I earned the Boy Scout rank of Eagle I had to write a letter of my ‘Life Goals and Ambitions’. I rediscovered this letter the other day and it was a real eye-opener. I said a lot of interesting things that I wouldn’t have guessed. I realized today it’s important to revisit your future [...]

I’ve been an intern at a large company for over a year now. I’ve worked both part-time and full-time. I’ve seen the ins-and-outs, no doubt. That’s why I found this article on CollegeHumor so amusing. Going off to work at a big company after school can be sad, lonely and a waste of everyone’s time.

I know I haven’t been here very much lately. But, I have posted over at some of my favorite blogs. I wrote about my post-college career decision over at Employee Evolution. I also wrote at OkDork about how I think companies should recruit college grads. Check them out.

One of my favorite blogs to read is is called Brazen Careerist, by Penelope Trunk. She’s a syndicated career columnist that I’ve been following for a few months now. I point my friends to her articles, cite her ideas in conversation and now I’ve had a chance to read her new book: Brazen Careerist: The [...]

I think the biggest piece of advice anyone out of college would give is to travel while you’re young (and in college). I’ve heard it a number of times. From friends, family, family friends, professors, etc. Having seen my friends study abroad for months at a time and knowing that my elders are wiser than [...]

Rohail Rizvi introduced me to a website he has been working on while in college: Walamu. Walamu is posed to become a successful college marketplace with classifieds and textbook sales (local to universities). Rohail is a student at Rutgers and a member of a very neat young entrepreneur group called Mind Petals. I liked his [...]
