About This Blog, Modite and Rebecca Thorman

About This Blog

This blog gives career and life advice for a new generation of workers about twice a week and my name is Rebecca Thorman.

I most recently resigned from leading a young professional organization to begin work at the start-up company Alice.com in Madison, Wisconsin. I work in marketing, social media and sell toilet paper.

Starting my blog is the best career move I’ve ever made. It’s been featured in several media outlets including the New York Times as the key community for Generation Y career, life and leadership advice. I made up the word “Modite.”

I’ve included some reader favorites below and look forward to your thoughts.
