One of the most frequent questions that I get from undergraduate archaeology majors is some variant of 'How did you get to where you are now?' This is a valid question as every archaeologist has a different story and career trajectory. That being said, I think what most undergraduates are really asking is 'What can

Plowing Ahead with Pinterest Source (via Pinterest) - Originating source link is broken I am a self-confessed Pinterest addict. For anyone who doesn't know, Pinterest is a social media site where users upload photographs, recipes, diy projects, etc. for others to view. Users then "pin" images to their "boards”. Basically it’s a form of social media. At my assisantship I rely on Pinterest for bulletin board inspiration. Sometimes I find material for academic-related workshops. Pinterest also has resources that are helpful for soon-to-be graduates, like interview tips and resume outlines. I really like UConn's Center for Career Development board. When I interviewed for the position at the community college, I actually fashioned questions from today's featured Pinterest image. I asked a number of questions during my interview, but the panel responded well to the following two: 1. Are there any opportunities for professional development? 2. What are the strengths and weaknesses of your department? I ended up rephrasing “department” to “institution” because the panel represented a variety of departments. It was really interesting to see their reaction to Question #2. I think they were bored after watching interview after interview, and this was an opportunity for them to really think and construct their own answer. I especially liked this question because it was much easier for me to attribute certain responses to certain faces (rather than names to faces). Their responses were fodder for personalizing my thank-you letters. Instead of writing a generalized response, I included something more personal: “I really liked how you described your institution as an exciting, collaborative environment. I would love the opportunity to contribute my own ideas in this position!” In short, Pinterest is revolutionizing my job search (one pin at a time).

The Sudden Increased Significance of The College Essay
Here's where the money is.
Studying in college is an experience of a lifetime and only people who went to college really know what it's like.
As I write this post we are only 9 days away from the vote which will decide whether Scotland becomes an independent country, or whether it stays within the United Kingdom with a higher degree of Home Rule. And no, I don’t intend to tell you which way I will vote, as both sides have ardent members who are quite capable of forming a lynch mob! There have been many discussions on the pros and cons of either vote, but there has been nothing that I can see on the outcome of the tax situation for independent writers who publish their books through the Amazon KDP, or Createspace services, or Smashwords, or any other publisher/distributor. The simple answer is, of course, that in the event of a ‘No’ vote, things will stay as they are, and that in the event of a ‘Yes’ vote we will pay our taxes to an independent Scotland. Simples. However, ebooks and paperbacks sell worldwide, therefore we are liable for tax in other countries, mainly the US. At present, if writers pay tax in the UK they can apply for exemption of US tax, which is set at 30%, by filling in the relevant forms to apply for an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number), which is similar to the British National Insurance Number, or an EIN (Employer Identification Number) if you are registered as a small business. Once these tax numbers are allocated the US withholds any tax due on sales so UK writers’ earnings are not subject to US tax. It would be foolish to think that this situation would continue if Scotland were no longer part of the UK, because in order to acquire a US tax number, the person applying has to be paying tax in a country with which the US has a tax treaty. Now, the current tax treaty is with the UK, therefore where would that leave an independent Scotland? If Scotland becomes an independent country it would no longer be part of the UK, and would therefore have no tax treaty with US. No doubt a tax treaty could be set up, provided both parties were willing! But how long would that take? The wheels of political change can turn exceedingly slowly, and I am sure there will be more pressing issues that have to take priority. Another issue that has been plaguing my mind, is the situation where the UK tax authorities will remove tax from source on all UK sales, which means paying tax to the UK and to Scotland, and don’t think that’s not a possibility. A friend of mine who sells in Europe (Germany, Spain etc) goes through agonies trying to sort out tax issues that arise. I don’t know the details but I think she pays tax in the country where sales are made and then has to claim it back from UK tax – I may be wrong in the detail, but I do know it is always an agonising time for her. My head hurts with all this thinking about tax implications, so I’m going to leave you now, and if you have any insights on how it is all going to work, maybe you could leave a note in the comments.
