By Carlee Mallard, on December 15th, 2010% Disclaimer: I probably say a lot of things I’m not “supposed to” say in the words that follow. Well, screw the rules.
I think it’s about time I get really clear about my job situation.
I can’t take it much longer. I’ve been there for 2 and a half years. I’ve changed so dramatically over the past two and a half years and my job has changed this much: not at all. So I was happy there at first. I took copious notes. I pitched in as much as I could. I read everything I could get my hands . . . → Read More: A Wise Decision, Things My Life Doesn’t Need & Appreciation
By Carlee Mallard, on October 14th, 2010% Background…
If you follow my blog you probably know that my true and dearest sister, Rianna, moved to NYC without a job or a place to live (only a one-way plane ticket) at the end of August.
Wanting to help her succeed and really not knowing how, I did what I thought best: I dedicated a blog post to her telling all of the internet how amazingly talented she is and that everyone should befriend her.
The outpouring of niceness from New York residents surprised both of us. Yes, people all over New York actually invited her to meetups, . . . → Read More: How This Blog Got My Sister A Job
By Carlee Mallard, on July 1st, 2010% What I learned on Social Media Day (June 30, 2010)
Yesterday was Social Media Day, as pronounced by Mashable. I only heard about it a few days earlier and I really wasn’t sure what the purpose of a Social Media Day would be, even after reading Mashable’s explanation. But as someone who is, I’ll just say, interested in social media and its future, I didn’t debate whether or not I would participate, but rather debated which local event I would attend.
There were two haphazardly organized events: the first one at Campbell University’s business school nearly an hour from . . . → Read More: Lesson From Social Media Day: I’m An Expert, Too
By Carlee Mallard, on May 11th, 2010% Would I keep using social media and networking sites if I weren’t ever looking for a new job or clients? Already certain industries are more prominent on LinkedIn and Twitter (marketing, public relations, news sources, internet startups, consultants, freelancers, etc.) and more jobseekers than steady-job-havers keep active social networking profiles.
But at this stage in the game I just can’t see ever not using Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Brazen Careerist, but believe it or not there was once a time when I barely used them (two of which I didn’t even adopt until 2009). Whoa was I behind the . . . → Read More: On Justifying Social-Networking (Or Why I Might Abandon Social Media)
By Carlee Mallard, on March 22nd, 2010% It’s so easy to complain to your family and close friends. Often its too easy to complain. We know that no matter what we say or how annoying we are, they will still be there for us. When we whine about work or our relationships our friends are usually there to be a sounding board, listen and agree with us about how much life sucks.
Too much of a good thing can be bad though. Our automatic thoughts become: complain, whine, negativity – hoping that our friends will make us feel better.
This is where Twitter comes into play. . . . → Read More: Twitter Made Me More Positive
By Carlee Mallard, on January 21st, 2010% I’ve been meeting a lot of new people recently. Online. At parties. At networking events. On planes. Friends introduce me to their friends. Let’s not forget it’s high school reunion time, so: reconnecting with people I haven’t talked to since high school (and that’s like meeting a whole new person!).
There’s a lot of people to introduce myself to. No matter what setting you meet someone in, you know the one question that will always come up is, “What do you do (for a living)?” And that’s when I start wondering what I should tell them about myself.
