Posted on July 2, 2020 by kirkhazlett

Patience…A Virtue That Must Be Nurtured

Posted on June 27, 2020 by kirkhazlett

Posted on June 21, 2020 by kirkhazlett

Maybe I’ve got the “quarantine quibbles” or something, but I feel like I’m seeing a lot more of what I have always described as “unprofessional behavior” these days. You would think grownups would act like grownups, but noooo. I wrote about … Continue reading →

Posted on June 18, 2020 by kirkhazlett

Okay. You haven’t heard from me since forever. Let’s just say things have been “different” these past several months and let it go at that. But I haven’t just been goofing off…at least not all the time! > I taught … Continue reading →

You Can DO This!

Posted on October 19, 2019 by kirkhazlett

I had a moment of “Wow, they really get it!” excitement the other day in my “Introduction to Public Relations” class at The University of Tampa. We had had a guest speaker talking about her current, very cool job and … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “Growing Up”

Posted on May 20, 2019 by kirkhazlett

As I write this, I’m sitting on a sofa in our apartment in Taipei, listening to the rain coming down in giant buckets and (sort of) thinking about “life.” I do this once in a while…mostly when I’m more-or-less caught … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “Just Do It”

Posted on July 20, 2018 by kirkhazlett

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: “I’m a Vampire!”

Posted on June 11, 2018 by kirkhazlett

Your Career and You: “What’s Next?”

Posted on January 30, 2018 by kirkhazlett
