Announcement:
I have started a new blog at that is focused on Personal and Career Development for Young Professionals. It can be found at www.MarcosSalazar.com. As
opposed to straight out career blogs that cover resumes, the job
search, or interviewing skills, I will taking a psychology approach to
not only these parts of your career but also will be covering the
personal, social, and workforce challenges that college graduates and
young professionals are facing in the 21st century. As I did in The
Turbulent Twenties Survival Guide, I utilize a psychological approach
to covering these topics and will be integrating important research
within real life situations to provide practical advice for people's
personal and professional development (if you have read The Turbulent
Twenties Survival Guide you know what I mean).
Some of the topics I
will be covering are:
- learning how to find and follow what you love doing
- practical steps on how to get into Flow at work
- understanding the psychology of happiness and affective forecasting
- managing the tyranny of choice
- learning how to cultivate your emotional and cultural intelligence
- networking in the internet age
- learning how to brand yourself professionally
- discovering how to use blogging as a professional tool (it is the new resume of our generation)
- how to become more of an entrepreneur
- using social-networking for professional advancement
- getting over post-college depression
- helping to answer all those questions that we work through during our 20s and 30s such as: Who am I? Who do I want to become? Where am I going? What are my passions in life? Am I making the right decisions?
So I hope you take a look at the site, subscribe, and share it with friends.
Take care!
