Introduction



Jennifer Durbin

Hello All! My name is Jennifer Durbin. I am a junior at PSU Beaver majoring in communications with the corporate option and technically considered a non-traditional student; meaning I have celebrated the anniversary of my 29^th birthday more times than I care to mention. J Years ago, when I was considered a so-called “traditional” student I attended PSU Behrend and University Park. I loved Penn State then and I love Penn State now!

As for blogging, well, this is my first time. I've never really been a huge fan of blogging, which is odd considering my background is primarily in writing and technology. However, being that I consider myself fairly outgoing and rather opinionated, maybe I’ll learn to like this forum.

I have had a lot of experiences in my life, both personally and professionally, and have never been afraid to share them with people, especially when I felt I could help someone with something I’ve learned. So, my plan is to share some of those experiences as part of my blog. I am one of those people who knows ‘some’ thing about a lot of things, and a 'lot' about a few things. Make sense?

Mostly I hope to share my knowledge of the working world; from working for someone else to setting up my own business incorporation at the age of 25; from working in small business to working with big corporate America; from telecommuting to being laid off. I will also share some practical business information on resume writing, thank you letters, interviewing, etc. as well as some personal experiences. Anyway, that’s my plan, but don’t be surprised if I throw in some unsolicited opinions, anecdotes, or random thoughts along the way too. =)
