It happened.  The word I dread.   A manager used the word 'Underwhelmed' to described how my candidate did.  The whole phrase being 'he was great technically and can probably take us to a new level, but his personality underwhelmed us, so we won't be pursuing yada yada yada'.  The kiss of death when an interviewer underwhelms the hiring team.  What causes this to happen? Well usually it's one big thing….

Here is a very interesting article from Sunday's NYT. Has the internet finally liberated women? (I ask from my home, post kid drop off, in my yoga pants while working for 3 clients, doing laundry and feeling very LIBERATED...) NYT, Home Tool, 1/8/10 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/10/magazine/10FOB-medium-t.html I had a revelation recently: a woman’s place is not in the home; it’s from the home!

I have been willing to not have it "all together," and to still believe I stood on a path that promised more security than any other road in the world. I left a fancy legal career and waited tables, yes, touched food, so I could explore my life and my writing. I counted my dimes and quarters. I lived in a tiny hat-sized apartment. I lived a life that did not look grand. But I had the humility, somewhere inside me, to know that I was making big moves with tiny steps.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – A new report by the New Jersey State Employment and Training Commission Council on Gender Parity in Labor and Education, based on a study conducted by Rutgers University’s Center for Women and Work, finds that women lawyers are taking control of their lives by choosing employers that support flexible workplaces.

I have had to learn how to mother myself in this lifetime. I love my mother, more so these days than ever before, but for many years I felt like I got the short end of the umbilical cord. Like many of us, I didn't get the movie mother in this lifetime, the tireless cheerleader, the fierce cub-protector, or the one who listened deeply to all my secret places and saw colors in me, I had yet to see. That mother was on back order when I was placing my cosmic selection. Instead, I got someone who hadn't exactly read the manual, and I know now, deserved and needed a mother herself.
