1Don't ever ask a good contact to provide something you yourself can do, like a list of organizations in his field. Ask him for the things that are hard to find, like a connection to the right person at an organization where you want to work or do an internship. It's a common mistake younger people make.

2At the risk of repeating myself, I am interviewing college grads up to age 30 who were not that engaged in high school and college but have blossomed in their careers. Are you someone like that? Would you like to be interviewed for my upcoming book? If so, please let me know if you will spend a half hour by phone with me. Career advice included, gratis! Allison@allisoncheston.com

3Are you someone who was a lousy student but has really found yourself through your career? I've been interviewing Gen Y's for my book on helping young adults starting in high school identify their strengths and interests to help plan for college and career. And I've talked to lots of people who were good students. If you were not I'd love to talk with you!

5The article in the NY Times today about law school being a loss for many graduates is very sad but offers irrefutable evidence: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/business/09law.html?_r=1&hpw I know plenty of recent law school grads who are disillusioned and in serious debt--does anyone have any positive stories?

8My Brazen Careerist friend Jamie Nacht Farrell wrote a great blog post recommending that the best long-term career strategy is to find great mentors--even if it means trading mentoring for a job that pays less. I think it's a great concept and one that I bet Millenials would generally embrace. Here is her post, I'd be curious to see what others say: http://bizrelationships.wordpress.com/2010/06/05/its-not-all-about-the-b...
