Author Byline: Matthew Warzel Author Website: http://www.mjwcareers.com If you are not a member already, you need to join what we call “The Social Networking Trifecta”. It consists of LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. You are probably asking yourself, “Do I really need to be on ALL of them?” The answer is: Yes. Why? Because everyone else is! Also, different people have different preferences on which one is their “favorite” to use. Some people may think Facebook is more user-friendly than LinkedIn. Others may find that they receive more activity on Twitter than on Facebook. Whatever the case may be, you must […]

With the current open marketplace, having global experience and being bilingual is not only a skill but a requirement. Learning a new language can be a great asset – from endless job opportunities to attracting new customers. Betty Liu, host of Bloomberg TV’s “In the Loop,” attributes her edge in the workplace to her language skills – she speaks Mandarin Chinese and some Cantonese. “It always sets you apart from the rest. Employers are always looking for that extra dimension,” says Liu. “If it wasn’t for my language skills, I wouldn’t have gotten my job as an international correspondent in […]

The best way to figure out what you’re interested in is to talk with alumni to get some insight into different industries! The other week I was able to interview an alumna who was willing to give me an inside look into the Management Consulting Industry. Michelle Gezo graduated in 2004 from Bucknell University as a Management Major and is now at Deloitte in San Francisco.

Online Tools and “Unreasonable” Programs Make Bold Ideas Happen From Idealist.org and posted by Scott Stadum. Big, bold ideas are incredibly inspiring, especially when they’ve come from you rather than the traditional institutions. I’m continually amazed how the internet can elevate an idea above the din, nurture it, develop, fund and help implement it, without input from that old school framework. From sites like Kickstarter to services like ChipIn and Fundable, taking a grand idea from thought to implementation isn’t far fetched, it’s a reality. The Unreasonable Institute is another noteworthy program with the goal of taking bold ideas for […]

Happy Earth Day! Now here’s how to find a green job… Much of the world marks the 41st annual Earth Day today. Amid increased warnings about climate change and long-standing calls to make our air and water cleaner, many employers have embraced efforts to improve the environment as part of their corporate social responsibility agendas. Whole industries and career paths have emerged to control the natural resources and energy we use, creating a new category of jobs with the label “green collar.” Green jobs aren’t just for environmentalists; they require people with construction, science, and engineering backgrounds, as well as […]
