It is elitist and a rip off and the Internet has democratized access to information and communication skills to the point that paying $30K a year to get them is insane. Most people get jobs from their network, not from a career center. And social media is the fastest, most effective way for you to build a network.

I think the proof of this is that gen Y prefers communicating via social media rather than emai l; news travels faster, via larger groups of people.

Like you, I suck at the friendship thing, and that's mostly because I suck at talking, especially on the phone–which is how most non internet people seem to communicate. I know that you are in a difficult time, and can only hope that you are able to come out of it as a happier, more knowledgeable person. Impossible to yourself.

I recently read a post on the Remarkable Communication blog about how not to be a bad boyfriend, the premise being that this model from life can be used in so many more contexts than relationships with significant others. That is why we keep coming back for more, because we appreciate how frank you are and we respect it so much.

That could also be out of necessity, but… 3) Be clear in communicating expectations. 2) My guess is that your company also see's big potential in you or they wouldn't have placed 'only 6' people reporting to you. Then confirm that they understand said criteria. 4) Be yourself.

Who knew that farmers have a telepathic line of communication. I think it's just part of settling in and learning to communicate our needs, even though it was rough to go through at the time. Just working out living together and how to train our dog brings up communication issues that seem petty but they keep coming up.
