I wear glasses/contacts ALL the time because if I don’t wear them I can’t see ANYTHING.  My sister works at an eye doctor and gives me the extra contact solution.  So I haven’t bought contact solution in about 2 years, which is fantastic.

Erin Caldwell wrote a post at Forward about blogging about job and internship interviews. I think she is right on the money. I personally want to use my blog to help me get a job not hinder me.
I feel that if I write specifics about companies and interviews it could hinder my chances at […]
