Career pickles? Career 911 can help

Caitlin | February 27, 2008

For nearly a year now, I’ve been addressing work and career troubles of all kinds through my advice column, Career 911 (Wednesdays at www.edmontonjournal.com/ed).

There are many columnists out there, most with many more years of experience than myself. What I bring to the game is perspective. My readers are new (or fairly new) to their careers and most, like me, are ambitious Gen-Y’ers with a penchant for asking questions and seeking out the best methods for getting the job done. I offer advice that appeals to their take-no-prisoners sensibility.

Secondly, having addressed a wide array of career topics for my weekly career feature ‘You’re Hired,’ (also at www.edmontonjournal.com/ed each Wednesday) I’ve researched and written about everything from negotiating a raise to the surviving job loss to the challenges of starting a new business. In fact, my articles have been frequently reprinted in more than a dozen Canadian newspapers, including the National Post, Montreal Gazette and the Ottawa Citizen.

If you’ve got a work related issue, I’d love to help. E-mail me at caitlin [at] inkslingermedia.com, and I’ll happily address your work-related pickle anonymously in an upcoming installment of Career 911.

I look forward to hearing from you!
