Kick Ass in Life

Kari Ickert's boss told her that what made her unique is that she was innately curious during an internship. That curiosity helped her kick ass in that internship & they offered her a full-time job. Kari just kept impressing her managers and kept getting promoted. Her story helps to show how to stand apart in an internship to get hired fast.

Too many of us don't take those vaycay days that are due to us - and why? It could be because we're worried about leaving the office and spending time away. Take those vacation days!

Set that out of office and just enjoy your time off. You'll come back refreshed, recharged and reinspired.
