Editor's Note
While students search through the rubble of what remains of a
job market, looking for interesting opportunities, employers are
lining up at the gate, getting ready for an uptick in the
economy. Meanwhile, Blogger Scott Heintzelman recommends you
spend your spare time doing some life-changing reading, and
AccountingWEB announces its 2009 scholarship award winners. And
what's all this talk about kissing in the office?
Best regards,
Gail Perry, CPA

Blog: Summer reading list: Do something to change your life
Most people that know me know how much I love to read. I think
reading can change your life. I think reading can change your
life. Charlie "Tremendous" Jones had a great quote that I have
shared on this blog before. He often said, "You are today what
you will be five years from now, except for the people you meet
and the books you read." There is a direct correlation between
the books you read and the success you achieve. The more you
learn, the more opportunities you have to learn.

Blog: Business kissing: The accountants' guide
Accountants, to kiss or not to kiss? That is the question. Have
you noticed how suddenly everyone's kissing? I'm not talking
continental kissing, pecking one cheek and then the other. I
mean a bit of a hug then a kiss on the cheek or the side of the
face at least. And it's not just extended family and very close
friends here. Though certainly they're at it too. No, I mean
kissing in a business context.
