Summer Interns
We were all at one point (or are now...or will be) summer interns and so we know the ups and downs of the trade. You come in feeling a little nervous, but excited about the summer that lies ahead. You get to meet some people and go out to happy hours and get wined and dined at times, but you soon learn you're the bottom of the food chain. There are certain things that flow downhill and you--much like Jack and Jill--have tumbled down to the bottom. But there is solace in the fact that it's for the resume/the wallet/college credits/just for fun. But alas, for better or worse, the summer is soon over and then it's back to school. You've made some contacts and done some networking, but you realize it's not enough. You go back to school and put it on the resume and hope that some of it sticks with you the rest of life.
How about some advice on those internships?
The Boston Globe (via Boston.com, Monster.com, the Hiring Hub, the HR Center, and the HR Blog) says that if you get a Google internship, fame will follow: click here
I tried for that elusive Google internship and failed in the pursuit...but judging by the experience one of my friends is having working there now, I truly missed out...
The Wall Street Journal (via CareerJournal, and "90 Days") has some tips on making the most of your summer internship: click here
And two more articles...
Back to the Journal which has an article on going back to school for career advice: click here
And back to the Globe for some advice on how that leadership experience in Fraternities and Sororities in college looks like: click here

Facebook and the Office
What happens when social networking and the office combine? Well...it can be an awkward situation, as written here in the Boston Globe: click here
Let's say that situation does come up--you are a boss and one of your subordinates tries to friend you on Facebook or MySpace or one of the other social networking websites or you are an employee and your boss sends you a friend request...what do you do?
Well first things first, whether you are a high school student, college student, young professional or "old" professional, you should scrub your social networking profiles. You never know who is looking at it.
If you think you're exempt because you are a student...just check out some of the articles from this Google search: click here
And if you think you're exempt because you're in the job world, just check out some of the articles from this Google search: click here (or, if you prefer, Myspace: click here)
And as I wrote way back in July 2006 for Astronology, the New Age of Background Checks has moved on to social networking websites: click here
So the truth is, make sure that everything in your profile is Kosher because the last thing you want is to have something meant from your friends, end up in your workspace: it could end up costing you your job.
