Brandon Jennings and the Olive Tree
God works in mysterious ways. At approximately 1:30pm on November 16th, the Cincinnati Bengals signed Larry Johnson, a player who has twice recently used sexual slurs in conversations with reporters.

Advice From Someone Who Hardly Knows Better
Wait a second. I thought I came back to business school to learn about what I wanted I do with my life? If you’re a Darden first year, you may have been asking yourself the same thing. I know I was this time last year.

A Final Round Interview Tale

I received this call and within a week found myself in the Charlottesville airport on my way to make a good impression on, let’s say, XYZ company. I don’t like to fly and was already resigned to the fact that I would be riding a little pu

- Use InterviewStream for mock interviews. Students who have webcams can log onto Interview Stream from home and do mock interviews. You can also send the video of your interviews to friends, family, Career Consultants, etc. for critiques. The InterviewStream link and more information about this can be f
