I’m a 20-something woman in NYC looking to change/start a career. My work history is retail and cooking in restaurants. I’m an ENFP. I’m interested in an office job so that I have more opportunities for success. So far, I’m interested in office manager job descriptions (which is the closest thing to entry level I’ve […]
Penelope – I am 5 months pregnant with twins and have been showing for awhile now. I’ve been asked several times by coworkers and have lied, but I’m going to have to stop lying sooner than later because it is so obvious at this point. My question for you is how I should tell the President of the […]
I recently came across your article Your Boss Might Have Aspergers and after reading the whole thing I have to say I’ve never seen a more accurate account of living with the disorder. I just graduated from Stetson University with a degree in communication and media studies and a minor in marketing. I started studying […]
This is going to be a tough one for you. And I keep asking myself WWPD? (What Would Penelope Do?) I am going to be 50 years old in July. I am currently working as a Behavior Specialist for developmentally disabled adults. I got this job after almost completing my master’s degree in behavioral health […]
I am a 31 year old female (ENFJ) and I currently work in an internal role at a major professional services firm. I am not on a partner track, but there are some good career options down the line. There are a lot of things I like about my job: – lots of hours and […]
I’ve recently been reading your posts on Aspergers to help understand how to support my oldest son, and frankly to better understand my own personality as well. I suspect that I have Aspergers as well, and feel that this understanding could have saved me years of confusion, struggle, depression, guilt about my isolation/avoidance tendencies and […]
I am a 31-year-old female. I am married and I have a two-year-old. I think I am probably an INFP, but never shelled out for the proper test. My marriage is very strong and satisfying. I have a job I love. I volunteered for 5 years and have worked there for 5 more. I am […]
I left my job to work on my own business full time. The business teaches kids how to program (and not just to program but produce their own apps, emphasize on problem solving techniques). I’m very excited because I love kids and this is something I can potentially sustain myself as a lifestyle business. However, […]
I am in a treatment program called Harm Reduction, for people who need to get their drinking under control. It’s been wonderful for me, my health is better, my blood pressure, weight, skin, mood, marriage, everything. I drink two drinks maximum, ever. I want this to be my lifestyle – it’s very important to me. […]
I have two major passions in life: Animals and Reading/Writing. I worked with animals for about 10 years, doing kennel work, dog bathing, and eventually, dog grooming. I love working with dogs, the only problem is that the way owners of grooming salons focused on money more than the love of the dogs ate away […]
