BGU Podcast: A Few Encouraging Words to the Class of 2014

Greetings Class of 2014.

Congratulations on all of your hard work!

I am sure that the past few years have been sprinkled with both victories and setbacks.

Today, I would like to discuss with you the importance of being able to rock your strengths, leverage your weaknesses, and successfully pivot through obstacles.

You need to know that a majority of your future employers will care very little about where you went to school or your GPA. They want to know how hiring you will benefit them in the long run.

The pecking order of this fine institution will matter very little once you walk across the stage today. Old friends are great but, it is important to open up your networking possibilities. Solid business and social contacts can make all the difference in your career.

There is a world out there waiting for you to make a mark on it.

Listen to this episode of the Bougie University podcast.

BGU: Summer Hours

I love working during the summer. Even the most hectic work and/or school day can still be halfway pleasant during sunny weather. Daylight stretches long into the evening hours and you can find yourself stepping out of your workplace and right into an after work cocktail party. New people are buzzing around town. Perhaps, they are working on summer projects for their respective employers, working internships, and/or attending classes. Summer is also a great time for plotting the next career step or life transition. How will you be spending your summer hours? Will your summer be all about work or will you manage to sneak in a few weeks of leisurely travel? I am planning on working, spending time with friends and family, and working on our farm.
