The Transition From Student To Professional

Entering the job market for the first time? Applying for a job is different than applying to college. What belongs on a resume and what doesn't. How to handle interviews and following up. On the job etiquette.

Managing Your Job Search

Do it yourself! Avoiding recruiters saves potential employers steep recruitment fees and increases your desirability as a candidate. Connect with corporate HR professionals who can connect you with hiring managers (decision makers).

Mid-Career Transitions

Always tricky, especially in a depressed job market. Recalibrating your expectations. Do the transition two-step! (use your industry expertise in an alternative job function, or use your existing job skills in an alternative industry to effectively transition mid-career.)

There's More To Life Than Your Career

Amidst all the discussion about women in the workplace, this is an affirmation, a validation of all young women who ALSO aspire to the traditional roles of wife and mother. You can have it all... but you have to plan for it!

Use your College Years to Your Very Best Advantage

Prepare yourself to maximize your opportunities during these prime dating years. Get a world-class education, meet your lifelong best friends, explore all of your interests, and keep a keen eye on your classmates as possible life partners. You'll never again have this concentration of wonderful, age-appropriate, single men to choose from.

Find the Courage to Do What's Right For You

Forget what is politically correct, and listen to your inner self. You are responsible for your happiness, your safety and your success. Remember that you're not the victim of your life... you are the architect of your life!

Live After Divorce - Great News for Grown Ups

Dating later in life can be joyous. When you are no longer seeking the other potential parent for your future children, you can date for your own enjoyment. Dating is better than it was in your teens! Enjoy it!!

It's Harder for Smarter Girls

Smart girls have almost priced themselves out of the marriage market. Finding men who are your intellectual equal gets harder the more educated you are. Look for men who will celebrate your capacity for greatness, and not be threatened by it.

Finding The One

Establishing criteria (what are you looking for) , mapping out venues (where might you find him) , and weeding out the bad boys, the crazy guys and the married man. And how to proceed once you think that you have found The ONE!

What the Feminist Movement Did... And What it Didn't Do

Equal rights, equal opportunities, but women are NOT identical to men, and men are NOT the enemy! Reject the antagonistic feminist doctrine suggesting that women don't need nor should they want men. Men are wonderful, and absolutely necessary for a traditional life with children.
