I went ahead and read the Treat Your Career Like a Labyrinth post, it reminded me of the film “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” The film is all about climbing the corporate ladder, it’s time we make a new film about Gen Y. Nice post, you’ll see me here quite often.
I have not seen that movie. I will have to check it out. Do you have a link? I think Dan is right on in that post!
@Nicole: I’ve actually searched for the link everywhere and couldn’t find it.
Great links! I’ve got a lot planned for the next couple months and your posts always seem to speak to what I need at any given moment! Thank you!
I’m so glad these posts reach you at the right times. Sometimes a little boost or shift in thinking moves mountains in terms of progress.
I’m looking forward to my 30s solely for this reason. I can’t WAIT to have it all figured out!!!
