I think it is so important for us to build in times for us to celebrate life's transitions with our friends, family and co-workers. Life happens way to fast and if we miss out on those opportunities, we miss out on opportunities to grow. Best wishes always!

Career transitions (aka: beginnings/endings) are certainly more dynamic than ever now. Agree, it would be comforting to develop new criteria that embraces this notion. I will start working on this now :-) There certainly is a plethora of buzz about the concept of personal branding; I find distilling into simple steps is helpful for my clients + the students I mentor. Cutting through the popular jargon to find your unique + authentic distinction in this complicated maze we call 2.0/3.0 careers is key. Be yourself, look within, and aim to be creative + flexible. PS - Readers should know I have spent a good portion of my own life managing high expectations and the roller coaster ride of emotions that accompany this state. Life after college is simply not always what you imagine it will be - I know as I lived it - especially if you are the type of person who has many ideas + passion for a wide range of directions. Ride the roller coaster, enjoy the moments, and know that place in the middle will happen - it's important to embrace (maybe even relish) this place too. Good luck on the important quest for career contentment. Sometimes it just takes time + patience... Susan, Thank you for stopping by Ed’s blog! Great point.

We are likely to have a lot more beginnings and endings than ever before when it comes to our career(s) over a lifetime. Was thinking it would be great if we could find a way to somehow create an experience of that sense of accomplishment and optimism for the future with every career move we make that is naturally created when we graduate!
