Survey says most new graduates in U.S. would take a pay cut to make a difference (would you?)
Seriously, any organisation can make a positive societal impact… sometimes it’s just not so directly related to the job-in-hand.
72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to make a “positive societal impact” through their work is essential to their happiness. Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they’d take a 15 percent pay cut to work at an organization that makes a social or environmental impact and 58 percent say they’d take a pay cut to “work for an organization whose values are like my own.” Female students are significantly more likely to prioritize social impact than their male classmates.
Amazing capture.

Great tips. Most importantly, remember it is not a casual evening with friends, mates and buddies you’ve known since when, but it is the building of a professional friendship outside of work. It’s learning how to socialise like the mature adult that you are.
When the boss invites you to his “camp” for a casual get-together, keep the following in mind:
- He or she wants you to have a good time. Be easy. Be your best self.
- Bring a host gift. If he’s into beer, bring a great case of local brew. If she’s into wine, bring what she likes or opt for a Pinot Noir or Pinot Grigio (usually safe bets). Other typical host gifts are beach towels, books, plants.
- This is laid back and casual - but you are still an employee. Don’t forget your professionalism.
- Don’t drink too much. You’ll regret it.
- Offer to help with meal prep and clean up, as appropriate.
- Enjoy the opportunity to get to know your boss and colleagues outside of the office.
I would guess that 98% percent of women reading the post would know that the look on the right is inappropriate in a traditional workplace. Too much leg; too much skin altogether. Just too alluring for work. If 98% of us can identify which look is inappropriate, why do so many women continue to wear looks that are too tight, too high, too low, etc.? It comes down to perspective. We can see things in others that we don’t see in ourselves. Or we are afraid that if we don’t look sexy we will look dumpy, frumpy and/or middle-aged. Good news! There are looks in between “sexy single” and “grammy.” If you don’t know how to achieve this look yourself, work with an image consultant.
