Workplace Culture
We have all had one, or more; that boss you just can't stand, the micromanaging, ass riding, disrespectful person that gets to dictate exactly how you do your job. Even if they themselves have never done it. The one who calls all the shots, gets all the credit, gets paid more than you, and yet is really, just kind of an asshole. My experience, mostly in an industrial workplace setting, is that bad workplace culture, and interactions tend to drive down morale. Which in turn, drives down production, which for a company, drives down profits, and increases turnover rate faster than a fast food place spits out burgers. It is the most neglected aspect in a lot of workplaces, but in my opinion, the most important.

I begged my mom to sign me up for modeling school and before I knew it, I was enrolled.

Why Your Online Profile Could Make or Break Your Career
Applying for a job can be a tough process, as there are a number of things that could potentially decide whether you are successful. Some of these things you have no control over—for example, if there are too many applicants for a single position, then many who qualify for the job will have to be turned down. Likewise, candidates with more experience or connections could get the nod over you and unfortunately there is very little you can do about that either.

In Defence of Royal Reporters
As a journalist, I understand how hard it is to follow a story, to collect the information, decipher what is true and false, and relay it to a wider audience who earnestly hang onto every word you say or write. Sometimes, however, parts of that audience decide to question what is reported, and that is perfectly within their right. After all, we live in a democracy where freedom of speech is not only valued but protected.
