Jobs are for Snobs

By Emily Fletcher | October 7, 2010

Identifying Your Office Type

By Mackenzie Bohannon | October 7, 2010

Jobs are scary. Well, at least the idea of jobs is scary. Whenever I imagine "working," I picture myself in some cramped corner cubicle, hunched over one of those gigantic desktops from the 1990s, wearing the sartorial equivalent of that feeling you get right before booting while my boss and all of my co-workers stand behind me laughing. So maybe I have a super-detailed idea of working.

The Mayers-Rigged Type Indicator

By Kathleen Mayer | October 7, 2010

So, resume drop was last week and like clockwork, hordes of '11s scrambled to get themselves a solid foothold in the alleged "real world," which I hear is different than what MTV has led me to believe.

Networking: What Career Services Doesn't Want You to Know

By Zoe Williams | October 7, 2010

There are few words in the English language that elicit a more violent personal reaction from me than "networking." I find the word itself to be annoyingly cutesy one of those dumb corporate buzzwords like "synergize" or "matrix" which everyone loves to throw around but which ultimately lack real meaning and consider the process to be pointless, terrifying and depraved. Perhaps I'm biased by my deep fear of seeking out relative strangers for professional help.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

Dartmouth's My Favorite

Oh hey. You again. I am psyched to see you. You think I'm being sarcastic because of the seemingly unenthusiastic use of periods here, but it's really not that.

Thinking Outside of the Job Box

By Lauren Vespoli | October 7, 2010

I came to Dartmouth to get a world-class education and eventually, a great job. And as much as I am loving every minute as an undergraduate, I'm SO excited for the options that abound after graduation I can go through corporate recruiting and work in consulting/finance, OR take the LSATs and go to law school!

Editor's Note

By Eve Ahearn | September 30, 2010

I often hear Dartmouth students off-handily refer to living in New Hampshire as "random." To be fair to my friends, New Hampshire's a small state, it's tucked into a far corner of the United States and it doesn't spend much time in the national spotlight.

We Are All Woodsmen Here

By Erin Lansky | September 30, 2010

Quick! What do strippers and lumberjacks have in common? Hint: "I see you winding and grinding up on that pole, I know you see me looking at you and you already know" "Imma let you finish, Akon, but the Dartmouth Woodsmen are the best pole-dancers climbers of all time, ALL TIME!" ...still lost? The Dartmouth Woodsmen, or Forestry team, competes in "classic lumberjack eventsthings like chopping, sawing, pole-climbing, log-rolling," explained Emily Kyker-Snowman '11, the team's co-captain. You read that correctly: pole-climbing is a Forestry event.

How Did We Get Here?: Hanover, N.H., A History

By Jack Boger | September 30, 2010

Dartmouth and New Hampshire seem nearly synonymous, but the College's sylvan setting on the Hanover plain could have ended up being in Pennsylvania's Susquehanna Valley and we would be singing about "the coal of Pennsylvania in our throats and our lungs." It all began as a twinkle in the eye of a gentleman by the unusual name of Eleazar Wheelock.
