Whether or not you can have wisdom as a twenty-something about to graduate from college is debatable. But if you’re an undergrad counting down until your last final in 2010, I can’t think of anyone better to tell you how to spend your last year of schooling than this year’s graduates. They’re up to t [...]

Dun-dun-dun-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun-dun. <–That’s my “Pomp and Circumstance” transcription.
It’s that time of year when finals are starting and seniors are thinking, “Oooooh, geez, what did I spend the last four years of my life doing?” That’s natural, of course. Don’t we always feel unprepared for big events in our lives? It’s the cold feet before the wedding [...]

We’re all quite special (or at least we tell ourselves we are), and we want employers to know. The tough part about that is we’re all different, and yet we have to use the same tools to convey our unique personalities to employers. The other day Bree told us what she’s doing to get noticed [...]
