Just have to ask.... I love my current gig at my non-profit, and would like to prep myself for upper management / executive status one day. Should I consider grad school in non-profit management or public policy? Should I just take certificate courses? Or should I stick with learning on the job?

The company I work for just rolled out a Code of Conduct which generally prohibits side employment (may "impair duty of loyalty to company"). I've been covertly working on a side venture (self employment) for almost 18 months now. Any thoughts on reconciling side employment with Code of Conduct?

So I've been struggling to find someone interested in publishing for an unpaid internship at our company... the shame of it is, that there is a god change of a job opening up in the near future for that person should they be a good fit. Any ideas for finding a college student who might be interested in learning a bit about publishing? (I've already submitted information to a number of local schools & Craigslist)

I recently wrote a blog post about "side hustling," a fun, trendy saying for getting paid for doing something in addition to your full-time income. While many other bloggers will extol the freedom and money that often come with side hustling, some forget to tell you how hard it is to get started (financially or otherwise) and keep going. Work/life balance, what? Harder when you have two+ jobs! Interested in side hustling? Check this out first: http://t.co/MLUJiJr

My company just updated its social media policy. What's interesting is that the Communications office has asked all employees to remove the company name from our LinkedIn "professional headline" (although we're allowed to continue to list the company in our work history) in order to "avoid the appearance that an employee is an authorized [company] spokesperson and to avoid the association of personal opinions" with the company.
Are there any other companies out there taking this route?

I was shot down on this idea because they were afraid of what it would bring. What they don't understand is that student-athletes still have a profile and could potentially say/do dumb things online. The college neglecting to put their own message out there really doesn't help this.

Welp. I pretty much got laid off today... have until the end of the year so plenty of time to prepare. Looking at this as a huge blessing in disguise because it's about that time in my career where I take my skills and grow. Looking for community management style jobs in NYC or Denver. Would entertain all though!

One of the things that I tell new people on Brazen Careerist is that asking good questions is the best way to become a Top Member. This is the same when you are looking for a job, too. BUT, asking good questions isn't always easy. So I'm going to ask the experts: What questions should young professionals ask their potential employers?

As an interviewer, I want to know how my investment in you (the interviewee) is going to pay off for me in my organization. So, the more you can ask about the organization, it's vision/goals/priorities/challenges, etc., the more you can position yourself in the interview to be "the answer" to the company's search!
Also, remember that you are interviewing the company. You want to be sure this is the right company for you. So, it's good to ask questions about the organization's values, priorities, culture, etc.
Good luck to all of you who are searching for jobs! Remember, keep a positive attitude!

I recently found a website called BookSneeze that provides free books to bloggers in exchange for a review (can be positive or negative) on their blog as well as the usual sites (i.e. Amazon, B&N, etc.) I think I can incorporate it into my blog but the question is will these reviews distract from my other blog content or even diminish it?
