Striving for #1

April 26, 2011

When I decided to come back to school full-time, I didn’t think I would spend the next two years focusing on the job search. Yes, if I pause and think about the concept of taking myself out of the workforce, it follows that I would need to spend time finding my way back into the [...]

Need a Job Before a Man

April 4, 2011

My mother once told me, “Don’t forget to get married.” I guess she figured if I was so focused on my career, I’d be oblivious to those gentlemen who were going to come a’courting. And then my friends shared with me this video about a five-year old girl who has already figured out her priorities: [...]

Women Count

September 9, 2010

When I previously wrote “I want to make a dent on this world,” I truly believed that I have every opportunity to accomplish that. I just need to do my part. What I may not have said is that sometimes it gets a little hard to remember that kind of a goal when you get [...]

Does Being Pro-Corporate Make Me a Joiner?

August 24, 2010

I like structure. I like learning from people who have come before me. As I like to say, “I can think outside of the box, but there needs to be a box.” That’s why I enjoyed my time in the corporate world. Sure, there were days that are a little frustrating, but that’s how it [...]

Don’t File Those Interests Away

July 20, 2010

I love art, food, dance, and theater. That range of interests doesn’t seem to open many professional doors. Or so I thought. Back in high school, I took the core classes (math, science, English, and history) through senior year. After adding my language classes, I put art and journalism on top of those. I had [...]

Being a Funny Girl

July 8, 2010

Have I ever told you that I grew up thinking that life really was a musical? People would spontaneously break out in song and dance, knowing an invisible orchestra would provide the score? Sometimes I still try to sing in public, hoping someone will join in to Annie’s “Tomorrow”… A few years ago I finally [...]

Hi, My Name is Emily, and I Am Pro-Corporate

February 18, 2010

Yes, I admit it, I am pro-corporate. All you people who hate “the man” and are “anti-establishment” probably think I’m insane. The thing is, I don’t think I really am. See, I’m a person who likes structure. I tell everyone, “I can think outside the box, but I need a box.” Part of my jobs [...]
