My principal responsibility is coaching our blogging interns through comments that explain, coach, inspire, motivate, support. From time to time, I provide selected interns with personalized job information or career resources to assist in their successes.
Our "Ask the Experts" feature is still live and I am responsible for answering, based on research and contact with appropriate subject matter experts.
I also write articles and blog posts to several of the site blogs in order to provide useful information and insights to not only the interns but all site job seekers, employers, and other site visitors.
We determined to add classes and teleconferences for job seekers as well as employers/recruiters. I develop the course outline, content, and arrange for special speakers.
In order to accomplish all of this, it is necessary to have good communication and coordination with the Content Manager and the CEO. I also contribute business development ideas.

After starting the Corporate specialty track, the school dropped the last two Corporate Law sections. Thus, the Certificate designated the education as being General. However, I chose to gain a second certification and in Corporate law because I had already begun doing intense corporate transactional work in December 1979. My goal was to gain additional information on securities law to supplement my work knowledge.
