Movers and Shakers: Real Estate
Movers and ShakersWe try to focus on the positive here at The Glass Hammer, giving examples of women who’ve made it or are well on their way to the top of an industry. And much progress has been made, as can be seen from our reports on women in industries from pharmaceuticals to energy and everything in between. However, we were surprised at how few women could be found among the management of the top real estate companies listed on the Fortune 1000. Of the 10 real estate companies that made the list, not one has a female CEO, and two have no women at all in senior management.

The Future of Investment Banking
Newsby Lisa Novak (New York City)
Roubini further prognosticated that, “in a few years’ time, there will be no major independent broker dealers as their business model…is bust and the risk of a bank-like run on their very short term liquid liabilities is a fundamental flaw in their structure…”

Don’t Get Dooced
Office PoliticsOnly 12% of Fortune 500 companies have a corporate blog. Compare that to the millions of personal blogs using tools like WordPress and Blogger. Maybe you write one yourself. And as work is such a large part of our lives, maybe you even mention office life in your posts. It can’t hurt, can it? Well, people have been sacked for blogging about their workplace.

Ask-A-Recruiter: Everyone Needs A Resume
Ask A RecruiterI’ve seen a lot of advice about having an up-to-date resume. Since I’m not actively looking and my job seems pretty safe, do I still need one?
Everyone needs an up-to-date resume. Even if you are not actively looking, updating your resume forces you to take stock of your career on regular basis. You will not let too much time lapse in the wrong area or industry or level. You will continually remind yourself of your achievements and what is truly important in your job. This will prevent you from getting stuck in the day-to-day minutiae of the job.

Walking the Wire: Work/Life Balance and the Single Woman
Work-LifeThe hot topic these days is the quest for work/life balance. It’s something that everyone – man or woman – struggles with, more so now that technology has gotten us to the point where we are eternally connected to our work obligations.
When people talk about work/life balance, they generally talk about how to decide when to take the conference call versus when to attend the school play or have a romantic dinner with the spouse. In other words, more often than not, the discussion is framed in terms of family versus work.
But what if you don’t have a family or committed partner? Does that make the competing demands of work and life any less difficult to navigate? Just because single women don’t have a soccer game to get to or an anniversary to celebrate, does that make their out-of-office commitments any less important? Clearly, the answer to both these questions is no.

ReturnshipSM program
NewsIn conjunction with the Goldman Sachs New DirectionsSM initiative the firm is proud to launch our signature ReturnshipSM program. A ReturnshipSM is a full-time, 8 week internship-like program for women who are returning to the workforce after an extended voluntary career break and are interested in pursuing a new career path. The program targets on-rampers who want to “transition” into an area/division/industry outside of their past experiences. The ReturnshipSM program intends to provide women with hands on guidance and coaching on how to make a successful transition back into the workforce; bring them up to speed on changes in the industry while they were out; and facilitate networking opportunities with other women. After successful completion of a ReturnshipSM participants will be well prepared to re-enter the workforce as they move on to the next step in their career.
If you or anyone you know is interested in being considered for the program, please complete the application by August 1, 2008.
Feel free to forward this invitation to friends, family, or former colleagues who may be interested in the ReturnshipSM program.
