I am a 20-something young professional with a background in Human Resources. I am the Work area content manager and as such have the privilege of indulging my love of research and blogging. I am extremely excited about Qvisory and can't wait to see how far we can take this concept. I truly believe that young Americans are faced with challenges unique to this generation and am committed to equipping them to succeed in this dynamic environment.

-Job Searcher, thanks for the tip. Confidentiality can be helpful at times, but I have admit I've seen a few people use their job searches to leverage better positions at their exisiting companies! -

Great point, Working Girl! I think the same can be said of almost any problem. If you know a problem too well it's often difficult to think around it! -

Ooh, good one Working Girl! That's a healthy way to look at it, though, isn't it? A lot of people (myself included) tend to look at working relationships as relationships and then there's a ton of obligation and emotion behind it. I really like the idea of regarding it as a business relationship, though. -

-H, I think that maintaining clear boundaries at work is a great way to keep from being burned at work. If quiet lunches help you re-charge then I'm glad that works for you. Everyone has their own way of doing things and I respect your ability to keep your private and professional lives separate.
