I might be going out on a limb with this one, but I’m going to assume that it would not support your career goals for a potential employer to Google you and find lots of porn. It’s just a theory.
But what happens if you share a name with the so-called Queen of Porn, Jenna Jameson, […]
This post is part of the sometimes-series Obnoxious Workplace Habits, wherein I complain about the stupid, rude, and inconsiderate things people do in the office that annoy the rest of us. Feel free to rant away in the comments or suggest a rant via e-mail.

In case you missed that day in in PR/publicist school, your job is to make my life EASIER, not more difficult.
Let’s try this another way:
Blogger = Media. Me = Blogger. Therefore, Me = Media.
So if you want if you want me to interview your client, feature your product, review your book, promo your wares, WHATEVER, […]
When we were in college, my roommate and I were trying to figure out our "theme songs." (Don’t ask me why — it was college.) I was at a total loss, but she had it all figured out. "That’s easy," she said. "Mine’s ‘Barracuda.’" And man, it totally fit her. I’m not sure the lyrics […]

And those skanky women dress inappropriately for work.
Well, I’m sorry, but it’s true. I’m sure Dana agrees with me — just ask her. (And we’re not the only ones.) Neither of us coined the term "prostitot" (though we’ve both used it) but I for one sincerely wish I had. No wonder young women are so […]
I won’t leave you in suspense on this one: My response is an adamant "No." As far as I’m concerned, pranks in the office are just as inappropriate as wearing a costume in the office on Halloween. You’re at work. Behave like an adult.
Now, I’m not suggesting that work shouldn’t be fun, or that it […]
Is media coverage really worth all the time and hassle?
According to most entrepreneurs and small business owners who have done it, the answer is a resounding yes! Even the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) recently described how important PR is to the small business owner.
In the story, many companies turn to PR after they have unsuccessfully […]
I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s noticed an increasingly casual trend in business dress. (Bridget posted on the less casual side of business attire yesterday.) This Gallup poll demonstrates that, in the US, only a minority of employees are wearing what used to be considered standard business attire.
How do you dress for work? […]
I’m still on the fence about video resumes, though I can certainly see their application in today’s increasingly Internet-driven world. But video business cards? I think I might be just too much of a traditionalist to get on board with this idea. After all, you know how much I love my business cards!
