Dynamic Duo: 2 Must Reads from Tina & Amy



Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are a dynamic duo, known for their hilarious humor and great real life friendship (#friendshipgoals). These two women are not only gifted with the ability to make you cry laughing, they use their platforms as celebrities to stand up for women and the sexism we see in the media. Check out this video for some good laughs and great advice to women.

Both Fey and Poehler have come out with their own memoirs filled with not only funny childhood stories but about the challenges of being a women in comedy. I strongly recommend listening to their audio books instead of reading the physical copies. Both women narrate their own books, making each chapter even funnier than if you simply read it.

Interviews: A Double Standard



Entering the job market after college can be a tricky task, especially as a woman. The endless applications to fill out and interviews to attend can feel overwhelming. The following video shows just how different the expectations are for women especially in the interview process.  



Being a strong and educated woman in the workplace is certainly not easy. Yes, it is 2016 and a lot has changed over the years but the concept of working mothers and women serving as company executives is still relatively new. Unfortunately, women are still held to very different standards in the workplace and therefore they are expected to display their achievements and strengths differently than men.
My challenge to you is to think about how can we fix this? Do you think the women in this video come off to strong? Why do some perceive them so differently from the men with the same responses?
