Temping Your Way to a Full-Time Job
Today I am talking to my real life friend, Jenn, whose career has turned into something she wasn't expecting. While in college, she had hopes of working in the Middle East and saving the world; however, after a summer temp job turned into a full-time offer, Jenn's plans changed. Jenn recently took a big and scary step in her career and she is going to talk about why she did it and what results she has seen because of it.
Pink Lady Martini
I used to hold a monthly women's networking meeting called "Martinis and the Markets" and during one of these meetings, which Jenn attended, the Pink Lady was a martini served (Please note this is not the 1950s classic Pink Lady martini, rather an NYC restaurant's version of it).
2 oz Citron Vodka
1 oz Pomegranate Juice
1 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz St. Germain (elderberry liquor)
Shake all ingredients over ice in a cocktail shaker. Pour into martini glass.
