Monday Millennials – Stuff you should see for 5/25/2009
It's memorial day - a day to remember those lost fighting in service of this great union, but more than that - to reflect on why those lives were taken from them. I think the person who put it best is Andy Rooney.
Does the phrase "Please Include Salary Requirements" seem a bit avaricious to you? – How to answer the dreaded Salary Question and Salary Negotiation 101
When will the not-so-ethical/uninformed employers learn that Millennials don't care as much about what they earn as long as it's fair?

Times are tough and jobs are sparse. There seems to be two distinct lines of thought about what the unemployed should do. One line of thought says, "The Spice Must Flow" - in other words, go out and get any job you can that will keep the roof over your head and food on the table. Another line of thought says, "Every Person Has A Calling" - that is, you should get a job you like since that's the job you'll be best at.
