Laura, I am afraid I am no help with either, since I've been jobless for a while :( If I remember correctly, you are a grad student? I thought you were all recruited right out of school, even in this economy. All the big firms used to work directly with the department to book people in advance. Sorry if this is not the case!

Hmmm...I'm doing software development and employers tend to want people with work experience using the specific technology required. I think in the long run I'll be at an advantage but right now I'm low on the totem pole :)

I am a software dev and I know what you mean about specific technologies, but I thought new grads were still a valuable asset for big companies and I thought they were still doing on-campus recruiting. I don't know if it's targeted mostly at undergrads though. Sihaya would definitely have more insight and advice.
Good luck and I am sure you'll do great in the long run!

Our hard work will pay off eventually and we'll look fab doing it, right? :) Best of luck to you too.

I can't remember her name but I got a great facial at Skinlogic in Greenlake.

Laura - please have Angie give you my email address. I'd be happy to chat with you to find out what you're looking for and help brainstorm. Facials - I've enjoyed them at Ummalina's but it's hit and miss sometimes depending on who you get. Overall though, I like their whole experience, starting with the robes and the foot massage.

LauaN, I'll hook you up via email with Sihaya shortly.

I go to a fabulous esthetician every month. She works at Frenchys in Madison and her name is Erin. Do not use any other esthetician there – just Erin. She ROCKS.

I've been to Erin before. She is great and Frenchy's was a fun treat for a non-spa girl like me.

(Hehe, why do I have a feeling that it will be near impossible to get an appointment with her from here on out?)

Thank you ladies! I'm looking forward to treating myself
