My daughter, Katy, and I would like to wish everyone a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday. I am so grateful for all of my clients, friends and family for supporting A-list Interviews, as we continue to grow and thrive. A giant thank-you to my team, especially...
The Double Oven
A few weeks ago, I was invited to my friend Kaylyn’s house for dinner. She had just been able to move back into her house after a flood, and she wanted to show me her new kitchen/eating area. I sat down on her new barstool at her new counter with a glass of great...
Zombies
The celebration of Halloween has been very hit-and-miss in the workplace, in my experience. Some companies really promote it by buying pounds and pounds of candy and giving out prizes for the best costumes. Some companies don’t celebrate it at all with the mindset of...
Ghost Jobs

Making Margaritas
As many of you know, I owned a restaurant back in the day, and I had the largest ground floor outdoor patio in Boulder. I drove up to the building on a random 70 degree day in January where the sky was blue and the clouds were puffy and white. I also encountered a...
I Have a Killer Tan
I have a killer tan. I really do. It comes from several long days at the pool this summer and some very strategic lunch hours in the sun. But my goal is to have the “killer-est” tan of them all, and I am going to get that on my upcoming 2-week vacation in Florida. I...
