Will I Be Ok After College?
It all started the day I graduated. Nerves were out of control, ESPECIALLY because of the nonstop "So what's after this?" question that way too many people ask recent grads. (Side note—never ask a graduate that UNLESS they for sure have a job) But there I was, done with my undergrad and off to the real world. The job search started a good two months before graduating and still nothing. I already had multiple internships under my belt but finding a job was a whole new struggle. Being a journalism major in broadcasting isn't like a normal job with a typical resume, you need a video reel with your very best work to catch the eye of any news director. I sent countless messages and links to different news stations across the US but only a handful responded. I decided to take matters into my own hands and network on LinkedIn. There I found a recruiter for all the Sinclair Broadcast companies who happened to graduate from my alma mater. I reached out with a link to my reel and asked him if he'd be able to give me any constructive criticism to make it better. He responded and said he'd be able to have an hour phone call to discuss his critiques.

Communication
How often do we think about how well our communication skills are? Our communications skills are not always something we think about daily. We may think about them when we have a public speech to give, have an argument with someone and think how things could have been said different, or even when we are talking to our boss and they take what we say differently than how we meant it to be. These are times I know that I think about my communication skills.

How Not to Leave Your Job
We may all sometimes have a fantasy—a dream—about how we will one day leave our jobs. Some picture having a big, catered party with their coworkers, ending in a crescendo of toasts/speeches that go on way too long and hopefully, a lovely parting gift from the company. Others, well, they hope to simply walk out into the night, hoping for no cake, no balloons, no fanfare. These dreams of leaving voluntarily—whether a few months from now, in a year or two, or in a few decades, ending in retirement and a gold watch (well, maybe a fake gold, good knock-off watch from TJ Maxx these days)—are generally of the pleasant variety.

How to Handle Working with Your Ex
Most people have never been in a position where they've had to work with someone they've dated. Unfortunately for my friend, she found out that the venue that she was just hired to work for is the same place where the boyfriend she ghosted worked for the past two years.

7 Things I Learned as a Traveling Salesperson
A chef by trade, I was feeling frustrated and burnt out this summer. So I quit my job and took an offer from a company that does roadshows at Sam's Club. It was an exciting opportunity, and I had always wanted to be good at direct sales. Selling pots and pans, while traveling all across the country, seemed like a great way to go about it.
