The concept of success isn't entirely as "black and white" as we'd like to believe. Often times, when we re-think the way we look at our achievements, we can find success in the grey areas. Success in the In-Betweens: Growing at 12,840 feet http://bit.ly/cDkp2k

How are people marrying writing styles together? Formal AP with informal columnist/blogger styles...

Some people are receptive to a more sophisticated style of writing and description while others prefer for the text to be ultra simple, fast paced and entertaining. Well, can't always manage to please everyone but I do try to limit abbreviations as Joyce mentioned below and avoid profanities. AND I always make sure I read it over for mistakes first.

I have noticed that for myself, I'm more informal when I write what I consider a personal post, as opposed to something more marketing or business-related. The informality does show up, but I do try my best to use proper grammar and spelling. I am always so embarrassed when I make a mistake, I feel like I should know better :)

Hey Untemplaters! I'm curious to know (if you haven't already seen the 'Ask The Readers' post from last week on the site)...
How do you define being an 'untemplater'?
Does it differ for each person, or is there a common thread that defines the untemplate lifestyle? Or is it a bit of both? Can a person be templated in one part of their life but untemplated in another?

I think Untemplaters at their core are very curious people who want something better all the time and aren't satisfied with what the status quo is.

It can manifest itself through travel, through entrepreneurship or via risk taking. It's unique to each person but in the end I strongly believe that without passion, an untemplated life is not possible.

An open question: To recent grads and young professionals. What has been your experience in the job search? Have you had trouble considering your lack of experience, and the current competitive job market? What have you done to counteract that.
One the other end, to those on the other side of the desk, what are some things young professionals can do that makes them stick out?

I graduated from my MA program in May to a dismal economic climate in the US and in Paris where I've been living for the last 3 years.

I endlessly heard "we want someone with more work experience, not just internships" but how do I get the experience if they won't give me a chance? The catch 22. To stay afloat in this market, I found a position with a start-up where I do Marketing & Comm. We're a 2 person team, the pay is avg but there is lots of potential for growth. It beats unemployment!

My market (FileMaker development) is small to begin with, which doesn't help. After no success with cover letters and resumes, I've decided to invest in my online presence and in reaching out for personal connections. It's still too early to tell how much more effective it is, but it's certainly more encouraging talking with people than it is trolling through job boards!
