Whether you’re a journalist, a rocket scientist, a ballet dancer or even a doctor, writing a blog can be an important tool to your everyday success.  There are many different types of blogs out there, which is why there is something for everyone.  Whether you choose to blog about your everyday adventures, your “likes and dislikes,” best travel spots, best restaurants, or even for the business you currently are employed at, blogging is a good way to put your thoughts down and share what you know with others.

For me, blogging for SDZR has shed light on many different social media sights, job related sites, and other useful sites that shared blogs I never would have seen or heard about otherwise.  They have shared many insightful tips and tools on how to be successful in everyday tasks, that of which I have  

I have always wondered if people assumed certain things about other people based off their place of employment.  Is there a bias that say, working at Google means your smart?  And if so, does the bias teeter the other way as well?  Do we as people assume someone working at a small company (maybe one you’ve never heard of) means they couldn’t make it in a big company, and are therefore less inept?

I struggled trying to start this article, because I truly don’t think there is a wrong or right answer to this question.   Indefinitely, one of the most popular search engine’s to date is Google.  In fact, I would think it is fair to assume that almost every American has “Googled” at least once.  The name that Google holds is one of prestige and respect, so it is expected to assume great things from an employee working there.  However, would that stigma stay true if that same person were working with a lesser-known company?  Would we as people still assume great things from them?  After trying to search (in fact on Google) for research to back this theory up, I came across little, to no evidence on the topic.  Some interesting information I did come across suggested why working for a larger company was better than a smaller one:

There are many articles and comments floating around that volunteering can boost one’s future job prospects.  Although volunteer work isn’t always as easy to come by at all jobs (museums, hospitals etc. are generally always looking for volunteers), offering free help to any type of business is always appreciated.  Time after time the phrase, “it’s not what you know, but who you know” comes into play.  Imagine that you have been a volunteer at a particular job for quite some time now.  You now understand how the company runs, what the culture is like, what it takes to be successful there, and most importantly, the people who run the company.  Now imagine that a job opening suitable to your skills and qualifications suddenly opens up.  The chances of the employer approaching you about the position, and taking your skills and qualifications seriously into account, have now been raise significantly.

Throughout my journey of finding a job, whether post graduation or throughout the summers in between, this has been a life lesson I have  

Advertisers and marketers spend thousands of dollars frequently coming up with the best new commercials, and billboards – and then, there is guerilla marketing.  For those of you who are not familiar with the term guerilla marketing, it is basically “an unconventional system of promotions that relies on time, energy and imagination rather than a big marketing budget.”  The idea is to create buzz through a more innovative and unique manner, and using minimal resources.  Regardless of your current work position, guerilla marketing is an interesting idea to become better familiar with, and in what better way then through examples.  The following are “10 Excellent Examples of Guerilla Marketing Campaigns (Videos)” as decided by the folks over at Mashable.com.  Everyone of these videos are simple, cheap and

Always wanted to start your own company, and become successful but never known how?  Well, hopefully with the help of the article, How to Swim, Not Sink, in First Year of Business, you can learn how to do just that!

Throughout her article, author Susan Schreter gives us a run down of why she believes many promising start-up companies fail or succeed in their first years of business.  For starters, a key factor that determines a start-up business’s outcome is how fast the entrepreneur adjusts to their new power role as business owner.

It takes more than just “liking” what you do; rather how well you can manage your overall business and make money – it takes more than just having passion for what you do.

Schreter also says assuming that starting a company involves the freedom to do “what you want, whenever you want” is another high risk

As a recent college graduate, the stress of figuring out those next steps were stressful, yet, inevitable.  No matter how long I tried to put it off, the decision of what jobs to apply for, and where to apply for those jobs was constant – I couldn’t escape it.   And, although an easy and popular decision is to move back home, it is not always the best decision.  Forbes.com recently released an article based off information found on JuJu.com of the best and worst cities to find a job in – the article was called America’s Worst Cities for Finding a Job.
