When I Grow Up: Laverne Berry, Esq.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Berry at an event for New York Women in Film and Television, and I was so moved and impressed by her story. She had a pretty traditional Journey. She went from high school, to college, to a job. Where things get interesting is after 18 years in the work force, she decided that she wanted to explore a different aspect of her current field. She stopped working in television distribution, and went to law school full time to get her degree in Entertainment Law. She has worked in the private sector, for big and small companies, and currently runs a solo practice in Brooklyn, NY. Ms. Berry is also the President of the board of New York Women in Film and Television. I hope her journey inspires you, no matter where you are on your current career path, to push yourself to the next level.

Midnight Snack: Frugal Never Looked so FAB!!! (Ladies Edition)
If I had to list my top three favorite things to do in my spare time, shopping would definitely be number one or number two. But if you have not already figured it out, I love a good deal. Not to be confused with a hook up, a deal typically doesn’t carry the possibility of jail time.
Growing up, my mom, sister, and I would spend quality time at our local thrift stores on Saturday mornings, and I am so happy I have been able to bring that with me into my adult life. My love for thrift has saved me so much money, and has also allowed me to indulge in one of my favorite past times without guilt.
Since I did the last post on interviewing, I thought it would be a fun challenge to see if I could go to my local thrift store, and purchase two interview outfits for $25.00 or less. I was little nervous at first, just because I tend to do the most when I go to thrift stores, and end up spending all my money on stuff I never intended on buying, but I think I did pretty well on this challenge.

Interview Your way to a Job
When it comes to interviewing there are people on various ends of the interview spectrum. There are people, like my dad, who have never been on a job interview in his adult life, he still works for the company where he interned as a college student, and then there are people like my friend who is in her mid-thirties and seems to be on an interview every week. When you research what should and should not be done on interviews, there just seems to be so much information that it’s hard to process it all. Because I love you all so much, I took it upon myself to look at my experiences, as well as the experiences of people I know, and compose a list of the three most important things that sets the excellent candidate apart from the average candidate.
