About Our Site and Us

The career-girl.com. Knowledge Team is a loose confederacy of working women who have long functioned as the go-to guys for friends (and their friends and friends-of-their-friends) for gardening, decorating, entertaining and travel problems over the years. We have fielded tons of career questions and mentored many colleagues out of tricky situations and into more satisfying and better-paying positions. We work as investment bankers, project managers, communications specialists, marketers, retailers, educators, and lawyers but none of these job titles define us. By maintaining active and healthy after-hours lives, we enhance our nine-to-five selves with continual esteem-boosting payback from beautiful homes and gardens, rewarding leisure travel and satisfying social circles.

Is this easy to do? No, but it doesn’t have to be "Martha-Stewart" time-consuming either. We can help you re-direct the efficiencies you have developed at the office to your after-hours existence. We can show how (and when) you could entertain two or twenty people in a pleasant, well-ordered home or year-round garden without investing most of your free time and extra money in the effort. We know short-cuts and tips that can shave hours and dollars off week-end projects and events. We know which books are out there that succinctly present time-saving paths to delicious food, attractive homes, and carefree gardens.

We scoured the net to locate the best on-point information and product sites so you can access our site with a question and exit with an answer - a recipe, a reference, a gift purchase, an airline ticket, whatever. We researched thousands of travel sites and reduced our sources to those which have the best prices, availability and ease of use. Because we are not paid for our recommendations, you can be sure that the sites shown represent true time/money values for busy working women.

With all our emphasis on the time you can save doing things our way, it seems ironic that we would throw in a Downtime section with games, quizzes, doodles and goofy stuff. But all work and no play..blah, blah, blah.

You can help us develop links to new sites by advising us when you land on a particularly good source for career-girls. If you learn of a book or product you think meets career-girl objectives, please let us know that, too. We welcome your input and look forward to hearing your suggestions. If career-girl.com has helped you at all, you can thank us by purchasing products through our shopping links. Please notice that we included a comparison site on our shopping page. We encourage you to webshop the smart way and evaluate and compare product costs and service hassles for our shopping links and other net sales sites.
