Maura V. Pingor Why I love it here @ Citi? The picture on my profile is me at the Resume Writing + Interview Tips presentation I made for 40+ High School students that came to our Tampa Citi campus for Junior Achievement Job Shadow Day! Love the impact I get to make in our youth while doing my job!

Vickie Elmer Make a comeback after a bad interview. If you have a legitimate reason for messing up the first interview, maybe you could get a second chance. My Glassdoor blog post looks at some ways back - http://bit.ly/zk5rWP . I'd love to hear your experiences with making a comeback in the hiring process - and any strategies that worked for you.

I always keep tissues around as well. Sneezes always have a way of sneaking up on you.

Vickie Elmer So who has toys on their desk or in their office? Something to fiddle when when you need to decompress? Or a collection of wind-up toys? Turns out that these playthings are not just about creating fun and playfulness. My Washington Post Capital Business piece looks at the real value of toys at work: http://wapo.st/rC0Dg6 So tell us about your toys and how they help you during the work day.

Dana Leavy The road to building a sustainable and profitable business can be challenging and complicated. And while this stops many aspiring entrepreneurs & freelancers in their overwhelmed tracks, the reality is that it's easier to actually get the business physically started, with fairly little risk and investment, and begin building traction from there. A couple tips for small biz newbies & skeptics. http://aspyresolutions.com/2012/01/5-smallbiz-essentials/

Love Ft Greene--great restaurants, BAM, subway access at Atlantic. I'm just across the intersection there in N. Slope--and it's great and convenient as well. I don't like Williamsburg but that's maybe because I like a real neighborhood feel with architecture and coziness--not industrial. I go there to party but wouldn't live there. I only lived once in Manhattan and that's because they literally paid me to (for work--free apt) but otherwise, I never would have moved there because BK is the place to be!

Amy Ng Veterans Day gives us a chance to publicly express our thanks to our nation’s heroes and their families for the sacrifices they made to secure our freedom. In NYC, Citi will honor veterans and active duty members of the Armed Forces, along with their families, in a Veterans Day remembrance and celebration at Citi Pond at Bryant Park, beginning at 8 AM. All branches of the military will be represented at a special ceremony. If you are nearby, we encourage you to attend.

Patrick Skelley Hello Brazen NYC! I'm looking to move from DC to NYC, has anyone here made that move? I'm an experienced financial consultant - 5 years in financial analysis. I also am very independently driven, yet work cooperatively and easily with others. I founded a startup last year, and currently write for a tech blog part time. I would love to catch some NYC networking tips, I'm curious to know what your experiences have been. Brazen is an exciting site for Gen-Y, I love how we rally around one another!

Dana Leavy One of the mistakes I constantly hear jobseekers committing is going into an interview and focusing on why they want to work for Company X - they're cool, innovative, cutting edge, etc.. What a hiring manager wants to know is, what you can bring to the table and what's unique about you that really makes you the best fit for the role! Some more thoughts on why having a solid grasp on your 'personal brand' can make (or break) the job interview. http://tinyurl.com/63ol9lr
