Well, with Twitter, it’s actually better to follow…
Hopefully, by now, you are using the new CCD portlet in your portal to access a bunch of Career Related resources. At the top of the portlet, there is the CCD Twitter stream.
Twitter (www.twitter.com) is a [...]

“What are you doing after graduation?” Don’t know yet?!?
 
Well get off your RSS!  And by your RSS  - I mean your “Real Simple Syndications” and by off I mean – get on it!  So what’s RSS?
 
I am not going to profess to be a scholar in all things digital or tech oriented.  In fact I [...]

“Barack Hussein Obama’s journey to the White House began in Boston a little more than four years ago, when he electrified the Democratic National Convention and captured the imagination of so many in the television audience…” (The Boston Phoenix, Editorial, 1/23/09)

Welcome back, Seniors!
 
Over the holiday, I got a chance to check out the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace.  The film picks up where 2006’s Casino Royale left off with Daniel Craig acting for the second time as Ian Fleming’s fictional MI6 agent.  The womanizing and gratuitous violence aside, I’ve always been a big James [...]

If you went out this Halloween weekend, you probably saw one or two Sarah Palins’, a couple of ‘Joe The Plumbers’, and maybe even an Ironman or Batman.  My favorite costume this year was Heath Ledger’s Joker, from The Dark Knight.  If you’ve seen the movie you know that Ledger plays a dark and ominous [...]

I’ve received a couple of inquiries as to, “What’s Next?”   On campus interviews generally run up until Thanksgiving break and we tend not to host interviews again until the spring semester.  However, unlike the fall semester, on campus interviews pick right back up once you arrive on campus in January.  So what does this mean?
