I read a lot about personal branding because it's such an important area for job seekers to understand. If you're thinking about making a career change then your personal brand is really the strongest tool in your job search arsenal. Here are some tips on how having a strong personal brand can help you get around the same old resume song & dance, kick your search into high gear… and how to do it right. http://www.moneycrashers.com/building-personal-brand-career-change/

A stellar personal brand starts with communicating a great story around your career accomplishments. I attended a Meetup last night that was all about storytelling for social change, and walked away with some great tips job seekers and career changers can use to build their personal brand and most effectively market their skills & experience. How to use your story to build a personal brand that will get you hired. http://tinyurl.com/7cz95xn

We had a class that morning and she asked if I thought the class was still on. Having lived through a war in my teens (Balkans) I found it unimaginable that an East Coast event would affect classes in California, so we went. I was wrong. Few people that showed up spent some time discussing structural implications of the crash in the typical fashion of an architectural class. Then I went home, stopping to buy a selection of my favorite foods and a bottle of wine, made myself a feast and went to bed, never turning on the TV. I did not want to deal with a potential of another war.

Has anyone read Penelope Trunk's latest post - Blueprint for A Woman's life. I'm interested in knowing how many GenY ladies (hey even men) agree or disagree with it.

1. Do both - you need to get involved in other things while staying on top of homework. My highschool boyfriend was involved with everything but homework. That continued in college which he never finished. He's the cable guy now, and I did my homework, was moderately involved, and now have a career.
2. Sure, if there is something that really needs fixing, but from advice of a woman I respect who is in her sixties, this should be saved as a tool to stay "updated" later in life, while being healthy when young is more important.
3. Assuming everyone wants to go to business school or grad school? Why? And grad school is totally useless for most people unless they determined through at least 2 years of work experience what they want to do with their career.
4. I married at 26 and somewhat agree with this one. Don't be afraid of "settling down" although advice shouldn't be to "settle" as it almost seems to be.
5. Maternity leave is a joke in this country and should be addressed at government level. Most countries concede 1 year is a good time period, and USA should as well. But employing some of Penelope's advice could get you a bad reputation in your industry - bad advice.
6. I agree to a point. More and more men stay home or work part-time while taking care of home and kids. Mine does. Working on your marriage is important, and someone will always have a support role. But as a kid who asked my parents to please finally get a divorce when I was 15 I vehemently disagree that staying together is always better for the kids, and research is still split on this.
7. Good points - financial independence.
8. Really, everyone wants to do a startup? I worked for two small businesses ran by men and they were both horrible businessmen and ran them into the ground, in spite of putting in long hours. Partner with someone you can trust, sex is irrelevant.
9. Whatever.
10. Bad advice - homeschooling is a full time job that most people fail at. It is illegal in my home country. Find a good school district, there are plenty, and homeschool in addition if you deem it necessary (my grandfather did this with me and it was great).
11. & 12. While I partially agree with this I think that people in their forties and younger are ill-equipped to give advice to people in their forties and older and unlike Penelope I would hate to attempt it.
I think Penelope overstepped and while she had some good points she offered some really bad strategies. And based on her comments she seems to think she's addressing a much larger portion of population than she truly is - only a fraction of women share her goals, far from majority. I really believed she had a broader viewpoint of people, life and world, I'm sorely disappointed in her.
