If you’re thinking about blogging, for fun, for a part time job, or for a career, ProBlogger.net is THE website you must read.  Darren Rowse is insanely smart when it comes to blogging, having started 2 successful blogs that allow him to live off of his blogging earnings.  The best part about Darren is that he doesn’t hord the secrets to his success, he share them with anyone who’s willing to read.  Today, ProBlogger.net has a guest post by Alexandra Levi, a writer for the Wall Street Journal on how you can get your employer to pay you to blog about the company.  If you’re in a summer internship, or you already work for a company that isn’t blogging yet, you should consider this.  Millennials are already looked at as being the most tech savvy of generations, and wouldn’t it be nice if the company paid you to demonstrate those skills?  Here are some tidbits from the article.  You can read the whole thing here. 1. “Develop your area of...

Lovely Natalie over at Screenology found this gem of a clip and graciously allowed me to post it here for your viewing pleasure.  Here’s her post: ———— On The Late Show with David Letterman, Andy Kindler regularly does comedy bits, but this week’s was especially useful to Millennials: he did faux-interviews with four college grads, coaching them on answers, resume placement, and presentation.

The funniest interview was undoubtedly with NYU film grad Nick, although Nick just contributed to it with his laconic answers and crazy hair. The Rutgers psych major was also funny, with her “cliche interview answers.” Check it out for...

Mondays are going to be short memos related to jobs and careers on Jobology from now on.  Deal with it. I can’t remember where I heard this quotation, but it’s a good one: “You are always self-employed.”  No matter if you work full-time for a huge company, if you’re a temporary administrative assistant, or you are babysitting, you are always self-employed.  Almost all the employment you will encounter in your life is “at-will employment,” which is a nice legal way of saying that your employer can get rid of you at any time, and you can get rid of them almost as easily (with 2 weeks notice usually).  At-will employment means you are always self-employed.
