Where Do We Go From Here?

Posted on July 2, 2020 by kirkhazlett

Professional Courtesy…It’s Not Rocket Science

Posted on June 18, 2020 by kirkhazlett

Get A Grip

Posted on January 20, 2020 by kirkhazlett

The past year has been, to put it politely, a royal pain in the @$$. Seems like for every reasonably good thing that happened at least two not-so-good things stuck their snouts into my business. Nothing cataclysmic, mind you. Just … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: Life’s Little Challenges

Posted on January 16, 2020 by kirkhazlett

I haven’t been as consistent in my posts recently as I would have liked to have been. A lot of “stuff” has managed to poke its nose into my life that I really would have preferred NOT to have encountered. … Continue reading →

Just Another Day…

Posted on July 22, 2019 by kirkhazlett

Hate to be a downer here, but I do not like summers. Or at least I haven’t liked them since I transitioned from PR professional to PR professor to “retired…” It hasn’t been easy…not that I’ve actually spent much time, … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “I’m Ba-aack!”

Posted on January 12, 2019 by kirkhazlett

For those of you who have paid attention, I have been “MIA” for several months now. Nothing unusual (sort of) going on…just haven’t updated this blog for a while. But, as you know if you’re reading this and to borrow … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “Dare to Dream”

Posted on June 19, 2018 by kirkhazlett

Three simple words that my “home” from 2004-2017, Curry College, proudly and confidently displays around campus for students to see, think about, and aspire to. Samuel Silas Curry championed this thought…and I embraced it wholeheartedly from “Day One” of my … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “Networking…Promote Yourself”

Posted on December 18, 2017 by kirkhazlett

Your Career and You: “Finding Inspiration”

Posted on November 28, 2017 by kirkhazlett
