On The Job

FEBRUARY 5, 2009

Well, I sit home all day sending out resumes to evil trolls who won't even return a phone call, and then I watch Ellen and Oprah, to make sure I'm up on all the celebrity news before settling in to surf the Internet for endless hours while eating an entire bag of out-of-date Cheetos I bought at the dollar store. Seize the day.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

DECEMBER 13, 2010

Oftentimes, they have never met me, but may recall my name or my boss’ name when I mention it over the phone. Aside from that, I use it for many reasons, but largely, I want to have my resume online so I can connect with people and have them learn about me should they so desire.

My question however, is… should I disclose the reason for my termination in my job interviews? I’m sure you’ve realized while it’s common to have a lot of office politics, it is not fun to work in a gossip-filled environment.
