Andrea Zak is a twentysomething looking for meaningful and satisfying work and play. Since college, she has tried out life as a spinning instructor, temp, event planner, teaching assistant, program coordinator, market researcher...the list goes on.
Zak currently teaches mat pilates and goes on scores of informational and job interviews to figure out what’s next: freelance-brain-for-hire or a corporate gig. She volunteers frequently with Step Up Women’s Network, a national non-profit membership organization committed to strengthening community resources for women and girls.
An avid reader and news junkie, Zak uses her blog to rant about politics, corporate America, the environment and anything else that raises at least one of her eyebrows.
She holds a M.A. in Communication Management from the University of Southern California and a B.A. in History & Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania. Raised in New Jersey, Zak now resides in Los Angeles where she lives in awe of year-round, outdoor farmer’s markets and cupcake bakeries.
Andrea Zak’s blog is SchizoFrenetic.

There is nothing worse than coming to home to a full mailbox that’s devoid of anything useful. From supermarket flyers to catalogs to credit card offers, I’m inundated daily with mail that hits the recycling bin without being read.

In 1971, Stanford researchers had to cut short a legendary experiment looking at prison psychology and power dynamics. After advertising and screening candidates, the research team selected 24 college males to take part in the prison life study. Twelve participants were arrested and booked exactly like actual suspects before being incarcerated in a […]
Los Angeles is perfect if you’re trying to define or redefine yourself intellectually, bodily, or socially. It’s a great place to get lost and find yourself, as long as you don’t get caught up in the hype. . . and you don’t mind the traffic.
Having worked with several coaches myself, I asked a few what advice they had for prospective clients in search of a coach.
It seems absurd that I should need a resume service, but I’m not getting results myself. And in considering Einstein’s definition of insanity — “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” — it’s high time I shake things up after almost a year of getting nowhere.
Obama has elevated politics to the height of fandom, and is now staging marketing gimmicks, typically reserved for celebrity-laden movie premieres and concert tours, to drive donations. I await the announcement about how these “special” guests will be selected…
…does anyone else find it absolutely amazing that the conservative powers that be are fighting the federal funding of comprehensive sex education and access to affordable contraception at the same time they’re flashing pictures of aborted fetuses to children. There seems to be some imbalance in the world.
