Answers to the quiz:
1. This is the big one most models dread. Are you under 5'9"? If so score yourself 5 points. If you are 5'9" and taller,
but less than 6'2", then score yourself 5 additional bonus points. Being short does not mean you cannot model. Your chances to do high fashion runway are out, but there are thousands of modeling jobs you can do even if you are under the modeling agency 5'9" limit! So don't sweat it if you are short.

There was a time that one could assume that the phrase ‘show me the green' was interchangeable with ‘show me the money' (and in some respects it still is), but today it's really taking on a whole new meaning – it's a phrase with a movement behind it.We, the people, are changing our view of green as fast as the kaleidoscope will turn. And the color is vivid. We are thinking green in our lifestyles, our products, the food we eat, the homes we live in and the world we inhabit. And if we're thinking and living green in all of those areas it stands to reason that this green-way of thinking will spill over into being green in our careers.But what does ‘being' green in your career mean? Well, it is different for different people – some say it means wo

This is the perfect topic for the first month of a brand new year!Staying late started innocently enough: “If I just stay a little later today, I can catch up’ on this work I haven’t been able to get to.” Eight hours went to nine. It became a habit. Then: “If I just take this reading home with me, I can ‘catch up’ after the kids go to bed.” Nine hours went to ten. You did this on a regular basis; 60-hour weeks became the norm. Sure, if you’re starting a new business or have an important short-term project, you’ll have to put in some extra hours. But if years later you’re still working those hours, it’s now a habit. You have forgotten what it’s like to have a free weeknight or weekend.Where do we draw the line when it comes to life balance?
