What’s Your Brand? by Valerie Sokolosky - Jan, 2009 If you think you’ll get ahead, simply by just working hard, think again. If you have a job, you have a responsibility to do the work, but you simply must be more than that.

Stop Bashing Gen Y Workers! by Lindsey Pollak - Jan, 2009 I try to read everything in the news about Generation Y and careers. This means I regularly find myself plodding through frustrating stories about how the Millennials are “entitled,” “coddled” and “disloyal.” Friday’s article on MSNBC.com is yet another maddening example.
