I'm in the newspaper! (I'm not sure if that link will always work, but the article is written by Patricia Kitchen and its in today's Newsday.)
The article is about young people and their careers. Here's my part:
"New York, especially, can be a breeding ground for a who's-in-the-lead mentality, says Charlie O'Donnell, 24, an analyst in a New York City private equity group. A graduate of Fordham University, he's set up a young alumni mentoring program there for students and finds that some are "very focused on getting a job as opposed to getting the best job for them," which would call for slowing down and doing some self-assessment.
Young people also can "pay too much attention to what they perceive as the pace around them. Others get jobs and move up and it's easy to feel like you're falling behind."
While he's no advocate of staying stuck in a going-nowhere situation, he does say there's value to finding some kind of fulfillment in the job you're in for as long as you're there. He addresses such career issues on his Web site www.findmypath.com."
Ok, how cool is that?! The story behind it is funny. I e-mailed her months and months ago when I was trying to generate interest in my book, and she literally just called me last Monday for this article. She even featured the Find My Path site! haha... wooooo I'm going to get to work on advertising the site more now that its been featured in a major newspaper. wooooooo
