Connect With Young Professionals ,

Since I run a young professional organization, I love this post! People stay in cities because of the connections they make and relationships they build. But you have to take the first step and reach out. Great advice. -

A Potential Ring-Shaped Liability,

This is so interesting. I've always felt at a disadvantage in the past because I wasn't married or in a serious relationship. I wonder how much it does vary by profession or geography? Great post! -

Be The Perfect Fit Candidate,
02/26/08
I think it's good advice not to rely on your resume, but there's no need to apply solely for the jobs that you're a "perfect fit" for, particularly because, as you say, if you're trying to get ahead, this will only lead to baby steps. Instead, focus on your transferable skill set. Your cover letter should emphasize how the skills you learned in being president of your student organization or being a an eco-consultant is perfect for fundraising. Or whatever you're applying for. It's fairly easy to get whatever job you want if you view your skills this way. Career coaches are helpful if you're not clear on what could constitute a transferable skill set. - Rebecca / Modite
