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.

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.

She and I had worked together in a couple of previous companies, and knew of my situation, when she contacted me and notified me of an opening for a senior systems engineer that needed to be filled, and gave me the name of the hiring manager. I had previously worked with him during contracts with Microsoft, Intel and Starbucks. The rest was just formalities, filling out paperwork and going through the process.

I describe it as 'diversifying your search strategy', really looking at where it makes sense for you to be expending your energy, time and efforts, working smarter instead of harder. I'm speaking more about this and offering some great tips in an upcoming webinar on July 12. http://aspyresolutions.com/upcoming-events/

I find myself jumping from screening resumes to checking email to online networking just so often that I'm beginning to think-could it be ADD? Is anybody else in the same boat? Time management is my biggest challenge right now. I made a schedule and can't stick to it. The resumes come in my email so I can't close my email. A candidate calls and I do have to leave everything and take the call. Then there are the admin tasks. I think I can do better. How do you manage your 8 hours?

Let go of yourself a little bit and allow yourself to be more flexible in your approach to planning your day. We often find ourselves swimming upstream in an effort to meet an unrealistic goal of how things "should be" instead of how things "could be". Give it a shot =)
