Children and husbands are often...

When I first heard, oh-so-many years ago, that they were making a film version of the love advice book He's Just Not That Into You, I thought, Wow. That sounds pretty dumb. What's next? Sodoku for Dummies: The Movie? But then I saw the film and said to myself, "This...

If you're anything like me, you probably have a few friends who just got engaged and you are already figuring out how you are going to make to six weddings in three months time. Plus, I recently just watched Lord of the Rings. Basically, rings have been on my mind....

It started innocently enough.

A few flirty instant messages, followed by the occasional lunch hour spent browsing a nearby record store together. Before we knew it, we were making plans after work to go see a show by a band we both liked. And that night, my coworker kissed me.

When thinking about career and job decisions, we know it's important to factor in company culture. Companies and candidates are finally beginning to realize just how important culture can be. Culture is the approach to work, the mission of the company, the way people behave, and much more.

A mere five hours ago, I returned home from the Sundance Film Festival. Sadly, not fresh-faced from a first class seat on a flight, but after an 11-hour drive with a 103 temperature from getting four hours of sleep a night and eating Subway sandwiches and five cups...

If you type "Michelle Obama style" into Google, 209,000,000 results come up. If you type in "Michelle Obama education," 183,000,000 results come up. This says a lot about our cultural obsession with fashion and celebrity.

The Wall Street Journal called Michelle Obama "her generation's most impactful...

In my time as a recruiter and career consultant, I've noticed a pattern among people: one of the major reasons they hop from job to job is because they never feel like there is any opportunity for growth.

People are constantly telling me how they can't seem to get ahead...

One of the most crucial factors to your professional growth will be your significant other. Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg credits her...

Well, it just got even tougher for women on Wall Street. According to a new study by the American Economic Association, connections help men get ahead on Wall Street but they don't help women in finance. Investors simply don't trust women as much as they do men --...

Two weeks ago, I was laid off from my job after almost two years with the company. I learned a lot from the experience, namely that I am not invincible. Naive as it may sound, I never expected to be laid off, especially at age 23.

It's that time of year again. Between the endless parties and obligations, visiting with friends and family (and sometimes avoiding certain friends and family), not to mention navigating decadent table spreads and endless office baked goods, it's no wonder we sometimes dread the holiday...

I change endings. It's what I do. Some of us enjoy the concept of finality, taking comfort in the fact that there are some things we simply cannot change, bathing in the charm of uncertainty, lounging in the pool of the unexpected and the unknown, accepting that some things just...

Who gets more of a recharge at night: You or your phone?

It's graduation season, which year after year is filled with beauty and rituals and rites of passage.

I myself am a new graduate -- I'm now the proud owner of an MPA from HKS (in other words, I'm following a service-driven kind of path -- I'm dedicating my life to...

There's a situation that many, if not all of us have been in, and it's pretty embarrassing: that awkward moment when you realize that a colleague makes more than you do.

Upon discovering the disparity, there are usually a few things that race through the mind:

Hi. My name is Mollie Vandor, and I'm a stalker.

No, I haven't boiled any bunny rabbits lately. My particular brand of stalking has nothing to do with my romantic life, although it is all about passion -- my passion for my career, and for the industry that...
