Happy Sunday!

Spring has sprung, finally, or at least conceptually, and we are sooooo ready for it! And while we’re waiting for the temperatures to reconcile with our expectations, this is what our weekly news roundup, news that inspired us, made us smile, frown or just left us with kinda of a “hmmmm” feeling:

  • Black Enterprise tips us off on 3 post-interview flops that ensure a lost job opportunity;
  • Fast Company reiterated one of our most valued mantras, and explaining how “saying no is key to productivity”;
  • For all the DropBox aficionados, Tech Crunch is letting us on the scoop that Dropbox is opening its first NYC office;
  • Inc. is confirming what most of us already knew about the power of giving thanks, and gives us 5 tips to a life-changing culture of thanks;
  • Essence is killing it with their Black Woman’s Career Playbook, as it tells us about 7 ways to build relationships, not just your business card collection;
  • Refinery 29 is asking if your work personality is right for your career;
