E-mail me!. Unfortunately, I can’t answer every question, but I do try to do as many as I can.

Punctuation and capitalization are pluses.
All HR people are evil, it’s in our job description. Or at least, that seems to be the prevailing theory. In reality, there’s just more going on behind the scenes than most people know. I’m here to demystify your Human Resources department and tell you just why you worked your tail end off all year and still got a 1.7 percent bonus.
Thanks Suzanne! I’m glad you enjoyed my article.

So valuable! I meant to write an article about your article but then I realized I would just be quoting huge swaths of your stuff.
Both articles were great, I’m going to pass Donna’s to my nieces.
Maybe Ms. Ballman’s article should be required reading for high school students in their (almost non-existent) career prep classes?
It should be required reading.
And I wish high schools would do career prep but they’d just hire someone like Penelope Trunk to design it and it would be filled of “find yourself!” and “have a baby at 22!” instead of things like Donna’s article.
All the articles are informative.
I have read so many inspirational stories in magazines. Each and every story amazes me but there is one particular story that inspires me every time.
