I GOT A JOB!!!!! That is all….for now. More details to come after my life stops being an exciting, hectic, crazy, insane, out of control, ball of happiness and terror rolled into one.
Interview Intervention
So I’m back in good ole Wisconsin after a great trip to Boston, but I’m hoping I won’t be here for long! My last day in Boston I had a great interview. Not great in the sense that I immediately got the job or I had perfectly formed answers, but great in the sense that … Continue reading »
boston cont’d
I’m kind of liking this list thing we’ve got going on, so here’s another one. Although I am hoping to land a full-time job out in Boston, my interview experience has been a bit out of the ordinary in that the majority of my interviews while here have been information interviews set up by networking … Continue reading »

I recently sat down with a connection who … Continue reading »
Some Sunshine for Your Sunday
Let’s face it: Sunday is the job searcher’s Monday. It drags on and on and is just the introduction to another week with no job. It’s rare to get a response from potential employers or even individuals someone may be trying to network with, because everyone else is out enjoying their weekends with the money … Continue reading »
Request Still Processing…
I have a love/hate relationship with getting emails to my phone (talk about #firstworldproblems). For example: Love: Networking emails, shipping confirmations from my online shopping addiction Hate: Low Balance Alert emails, and most recently–and the point of this post–an email I got a couple of weeks ago: “Katie Kruse, you have a new follower on Twitter: … Continue reading »
