Some people know what they want to do with their lives from early on in their career. I am not one of those people. It is also the first thing people ask you as you are networking. I just started reading the book Strength Finder 2.0. The main theme is to focus on what you […]

We are going to end this week on a light note which many of us need after the death of a co-worker which is much more important to me than the celebrities who passed this week. One cool thing about not having a job is that once you have met your obligations to collect your […]
