Tweet Several years ago, I lived in Sonoma, California and worked in a small business. I hired a marketing assistant who became a friend. I was single and Trish was married but we connected. She made plans to travel to Tunisia to visit her husband’s family and she invited me to accompany them. It was . . . → Read More: In Real Life Tweet Someone’s comment on Twitter got my attention and made me laugh: “If you use the word “Jedi” in your bio & don’t carry a lightsaber, please punch yourself in the head for me.” I have the same visceral reaction with the term “Guru.” Social media has spawned so many people who offer their services . . . → Read More: Do you know a guru? Tweet I seem to have grown my followers in spurts, and I tend to add who I follow in bursts, as well. One example came after attending a social media conference last year I followed a number of the others who were in attendance. When I find people I like, then I watch who they . . . → Read More: Spring Cleaning A Twitter Account Tweet Today I read two different posts on the topic of parenting and working. In one, a mother addressed the question of why she would choose to work outside the home. No one has dared to ask me that directly. I have worked since I graduated from college, and that was more than 20 years . . . → Read More: The Choice to be a “Working Mom” Tweet I am finding more sources almost on a daily basis. There is a bit of information overload but as I make new connections via the web, I am discovering new people who are very cool.

It was kind of a dream come true. I had qualified for a University job (I don’t recall if it was called “work-study” but the point was that a student could then apply for positions in departments all over campus) and I . . . → Read More: I’m a Fangirl Tweet I decided to write a post dedicated to former professor of mine, Alex Inkeles. I was a research assistant for him back in the day. He recently passed away and it has occurred to me, often, how keen his insight was then, and how he influenced me. I was an undergraduate studying sociology . . . → Read More: One World Emerging? Tweet I think PR is one of the most misunderstood and/or not known professions. I’ve been asked what I do by friends and family and when I say “PR” the reactions vary but more often than not, I get a blank, somewhat dazed sort of look. So, then I might offer an explanation of the . . . → Read More: I do PR Tweet I’ve been in various conversations with colleagues about social media and how much information people share. It seems that “Millennials” are accustomed to being online and posting nearly everything. However, it has been shown that more employers are checking social networks before making hiring decisions. All that information can cost people job offers. Then, . . . → Read More: TMI Tweet When I think of Facebook and my collection of friends there, one phrase comes to mind: “Worlds Colliding.” Over the course of my life, I have moved multiple times. So there is the simple issue of geography keeping groups separated in my real life. Jobs came and went and now I am able to . . . → Read More: Worlds Colliding |
