Cupid & Cover Letters

Welcome back from a long weekend.  Hopefully everyone has had a nice President’s Day/Darwin’s Birthday/Valentine’s Day weekend.   I am going to choose to focus on the latter of these celebrations for a few minutes: Valentine’s Day.  Depending on your relationship status, most people either love or hate Valentine’s day.  But no matter where you…

Tweet Tweet went the Birdie, and Dean Hanno, and CCD

You may have heard the line, “It’s better to lead than to follow.” 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…

Get off your RSS!

“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…

Building A Winning Strategy

“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)   To think, four years ago in Boston, I could have been sitting at…

The Boston Bruins & You

So I was cruising along I-93 the other day admiring the fantastic Boston skyline when a billboard caught my eye: it was a Boston Bruins billboard featuring the slogan “We want it as bad as you do.”   Not being a hockey fan, I really wasn’t sure what “it” was.  Is “it” the Stanley Cup? …

Who Do You Love

Who do you love?   And I don’t mean, mom, grandpa, baby sis, or Big Papi…  I mean in terms of corporations, companies, potential employers… Who do you love? A friend of mine recently told me, “I want Google to run my life.”  He loves Google.  Loves their products.  Loves their mission.  Loves the way…

From 007 to 2-009

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…

Rocking The Vote

Hopefully you got a chance to “Rock The Vote” last week and regardless your political affiliation it’s safe to say that last week Tuesday, America spoke, loud and clear:   Barack Obama won the office of President  by obtaining 56,445,394 of the popular vote as opposed to John McCain’s 57,446,223 votes.       Although…

Why so serious?

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…
