I’m excited to announce that I am now an expert blogger for FastCompany.com! Many thanks to my friend and fellow blogger Alice Korngold for helping to make this possible.
My FC blog is called “Next Generation Career Advice” and will focus on what it takes to build a successful career in the 21st century. Topics will include professional development, social networking, entrepreneurship, managing generational differences and much more. I’ll excerpt each post on the Lindsey Pollak Career Blog and will continue to post new content here as always.
Hope you enjoy this excerpt from my first FastCompany.com blog post, “5 Ways to Take More Control of Your Career”:

Scary? Kind of. But it’s also empowering. Here are 5 tips to start taking the reins on your career today, so you’re ready for whatever happens tomorrow…

Congrats Lindsey. I love Fast Company and your writing style, so this should be a perfect fit!
I want to echo the congratulations Lindsey! I’ve been a fan of Fast Company since it’s inception and it’s great to see them tapping into your advice. “Be the First to Know Everything” is something you don’t just preach, but practice. Can’t wait to see more from you on the FC blog.
Congratulations Lindsey! I’m a member on Fastcompany.com and I am just so excited for you and this wonderful opportunity. Lots of luck. Your tips are great, especially the reaching out to Alumni Associations. The Alumni Association at my alma mater is growing and booming with great opportunties I am just eager to take advantage of and participate in.
Thanks!
