The River Gathering
Dear Fairy God Boss Community,
We are so blown away by you all! It's SO awesome! We wanted to reach out to you because of the synergies that we clearly have - being boss babes, wanting to improve our communities, wanting to improve ourselves, community, collaboration, entrepreneurship, and so much more. We think you would be interested in our event. It's called The River Gathering (www.therivergathering.com), and it's an all-inclusive working vacation for female entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, boss babes, creatives, etc.
We're offering a combo of (1) really awesome leadership programming (by Stephanie at Wolf & Heron - www.wolfandheron.com) that'll help guests become more clear about their businesses and learn how to be more influential/inspirational as business owners, (2) a lovely CO vacation venue with time off in the afternoons to luxuriate/play/explore (or work more, if you want), and (3) the company/community/nourishment-for-the-soul of other entrepreneurs. It's an opportunity to spend some intentional and focused time "on" your business instead of "in" the day-to-day of it all, AND connect with other female boss babes.
If you're interested in attending or being an ambassador for our event, let me know ([email protected]). And, if you think this would be great for your team (or other entrepreneur friends!), we can TOTALLY talk about a group discount. It'd be SO FUN to have you there.
Sincerely,
Cassidy

I have an interview tomorrow and the place i am interviewing with wants me to fill out an "Acknowledgement of Education and Experience Verification" form that requires for me to select 1 of 2 options: 1) Yes, my current employer does know that I am interviewing and the agency's Human Resources office has my permission to verify my work, both performance and experience, with my current employer at this time OR 2) No, I do not wish to have the agency's Human Resources Office contact my present employer at this time.
If i am selected for a position and accept, I understand that my current employer will then be asked to verify my experience.
I currently work for a Temp agency and my Recruiter (contact at my agency) knows I am going to be interviewing tomorrow at the place I am interviewing at; however, the job I am on a Temporary assignment for does not know. Based on the form and options I have to choose from above, should I tell the company I am doing a Temporary assignment for that I am interviewing for the agency tomorrow? Apparently, they have to verify my work (consisting of performance and experience) with my current job. I don't want to have to worry about them telling me not to come back because they know I took off of work to interview for a job. Does anyone have any helpful advice?

I’m a back up person
I recently started this new job back in October. I was assigned accounts and I have my own task well they had me back up person to this girl and now they are having me back up to this guy who is planning on leaving for a month. I’m still so much a newbie I haven’t at all picked up speed to do my work and cover someone else’s work. My last job did this too me as well but it was when lay offs happened. I was a back up person and got cross trained doing other task. My job ended up being a mesh of 3 different jobs no extra pay or a job title change. I’m starting to have fear it’s going to happen again. I experienced severe burn out that made me feel like I was going crazy. What can I do to prevent that from happening?

Money?!
I'm looking to make no less than $22/hr.
Should I still list that amount even if the job posting the pay is $25/hr?

It’s easier said than done to speak up at work—the irony.
This may feel especially true for women who need to navigate how to be assertive without worrying about appearing abrasive. After all, research suggests that women who use their voices at work (and break free from passive, people-pleasing gender role norms) can be labeled unlikable, which can take a toll on their careers. But keeping quiet can be even more damaging.
Join us for a discussion with Cornerstone—a leading cloud-based people development software provider—on how to handle this double-bind.

i just really hate the economy that we’re in currently.
i’ve been unemployed since january, and i’ve been struggling to make ends meet. as a student, all i ask for is a job that would pay at least $10 dollars an hour, yet even at that amount, employers still want you to do xzy just to outsource the job to somewhere CHEAPER instead.
seeing you ladies struggle for jobs higher than that really scares me for when i graduate, as $10 dollars an hour is really all i need. i know i can do the job, i know i can do it well. yet these remote jobs (and retail, but remote is a must as i’m relocating), act like you don’t have champagne taste with a hard seltzer budget, you’re out.
