We’ve all heard that social media can help or hinder your job search. Check this out for an example of bad judgement that resulted in losing a job. Scroll to the bottom for the hilarious Facebook interaction.
Please, people… don’t add your boss as your Fbook friend.

P.S. For some other Facebook funnies… http://www.lamebook.com/ I discovered this by reading the comments in the Mashable article.
From Book Business, the Top 50 Women in Publishing!
Since most of us are women, I thought I would share this fascinating look at what makes publishing’s top women the top women!
“They have founded publishing companies and started their own imprints; signed coveted authors and fostered virtual unknowns who have skyrocketed to the top of The New York Times Best-Seller List. They have orchestrated complex manufacturing projects and spearheaded environmental initiatives that are lessening the industry’s carbon footprint. They have championed new technologies and implemented them in ways that mark industry ‘firsts’; created and launched marketing campaigns that have enticed and engaged readers both in stores and online.”
Here’s a highlight, for those of us who took her class:
Carrie Kania, Senior Vice President and Publisher, Harper Perennial & It Books
Kania started her career at Random House. She joined HarperCollins in 1999 and became publisher of Harper Perennial in 2006, where she oversees publication of titles such as “Dandy in the Underworld” by Sebastian Horsley and “Down and Out in Murder Mile” by Tony O’Neill. Harper Perennial is also the home of many notable backlist titles (“To Kill a Mockingbird,” “The Bell Jar,” and “Brave New World,” among many others) and new voices such as Simon Van Booy, Justin Taylor and Lydia Peelle. In 2009, Kania became publisher of It Books, a new pop culture imprint, publishing titles from Dita Von Teese and Neil Strauss, among others.
My favorite parts of this list are the tips from the women themselves!
