I don't use names, I discuss incidents or operations which I don't necessarily agree with. Mostly, because I'm curious about others perceptions, and their advice for dealing with similar situations. I don't think it's wrong, I think it's ok to ask advice and to give examples of what you might be dealing with.

So I've always been one of those people who attends networking events and then spends the evening holding up the wall–until last night. I finally managed to overcome my fears and introduce myself to people, with great results. But I find this is an issue a lot of people have. Has anyone else had to overcome a similar problem? What tips did you use? (I wrote up my tips on my blog: http://wp.me/pPuvU-c7)

I am currently working on 2 career paths - Marketing / Cooking education. While I have an MBA in Marketing, I also have a passion for Indian food and cooking. I do a lot of consulting and volunteer work in Marketing, and recently began Indian food cooking classes. What surprises me is that I'm equally passionate about nurturing both career paths. How do you feel about working 2 jobs? How would you prioritize your time and resources between them?

If all of those could be placed in one job, it would scare me!! I would say that if it wasn't for the volunteer roles that I have taken on to help hone my leadership skills, I probably would not be at the place where I am career wise. Early in my career, I wasn't given much leadership roles (although I had many many roles while in college). It's been an unique challenge to get the corporate environment to see the skill set that I have (so until then, I have continued to lead outside of work). Now they are beginning to recognize this (but may be too late).

I had a really bad room-mate experience in college and I was told by my cousin to document every incident between my room-mate and me in detail. Those notes came in handy later when I filed complaints against her with the dorm authorities. For an apartment lease why don't you try to discuss breaking out of the lease with the apartment owners? You might have to pay some penalty, but your safety and reputation is really worth a lot more than the penalty to break a lease. If you can talk to a lawyer, do so and let your room-mates know that you are consulting with them. Intimidating using legal channels really works in many cases. Good luck!

I wonder about this power couple topic: here's something to think about: What couple is not aiming to help each other get what each person wants? What couple is not made of two people who are ambitious about meeting their goals, whatever they are?

Brief summary of Trunk's Resume boot camp: Don't put every job on resume, tell a story. Be creative, don't lie. Add achievements, not job descriptions. Bullet points, not short descriptions. Gaps in resume good (shows time for self learning & breaks). Always add a short, basic cover letter that lists 3 recent accomplishments. Use "increase"/"decrease" to refer to accomplishments at a job. 15% is a good estimate for percent improvement, but don't overuse the number. Hire career coach for an hr.

I prefer to have people listening to what I am saying rather than looking at what I'm wearing. I keep things simple, choosing solids over prints & being bold with rich colors. You can mix and match 2 skirts, 2 shell tops, 2 cardigans & make several outfits. Invest in some beautiful scarfs & learn how to wear them in original ways; European women do this. For traveling, it's a lot lighter to carry six scarfs than six outfits. For fun, I make jewelry which reflects my creativity & personality.
