Every so often we get caught by surprise. We did an interview about 5 months ago and didn't know if it would be picked-up as content for articles, publications, etc. Lo, and behold, while doing a google search on ourselves (which we recommend everyone do from time to time) we found the article by Margaret Littman. Although the article has been published in media outlets from Washington state to the Chicago Herald, here is an excerpt from the article available online in Philadelphia at Philly.com:
You better not pout.
By Margaret Littman
Don't sweat the small stuff
If you've been laid-off you may be concerned about the costs that come with holiday merriment, but you should not stay home just because you can't afford an expensive hostess gift. A hand-written (and heartfelt) thank-you note the next day will go just as far as a bottle of wine brought to the party. Don't fret about not having a new outfit to wear, as long as what you have is clean, pressed and in good shape. Having polished shoes and a good hair cut go further than a new dress, says Lyons. If your holiday parties are pinching your budget too much, pick and choose the few that will be most useful in your job search.
