Still trying to be a good little boy or girl and stick to those wholesome New Year’s resolutions? Maybe it’s time to rebel against that clichéd New Year’s resolution routine and resolve to be very, very bad in 2009. If you’re...

January 2nd, 2009
If you’re tired of waiting around for the job market to improve, for hiring managers to get back to you, for a decent position to show up on Monster.com, it may be time to seize control and see what kind of job you can create for yourself. For...

December 22nd, 2008

Escape Artist of the Month: Paul Lieberstein
Co-Executive Producer: The Office
In honor of the highly-anticipated return of The Office this week, our Escape Artist of the Month is the brilliant Paul Lieberstein. Paul is Writer/Co-Executive Producer for NBC's The Office and also plays human resources manager Toby Flenderson, who quit his job at Dunder Mifflin Scranton to escape to Costa Rica at the end of last season.
Paul himself left a career as a corporate auditor to pursue his dream of writing for television. Today he writes for and stars in an Emmy-winning sitcom about life in Corporate America. All of those hours of corporate frustration ended up serving as research for his dream job on one of the funniest shows on TV. While I suspect that Toby will return to his cubicle in Scranton next season, Paul will never have to sit through a corporate audit again.
Paul Lieberstein's Career Advice: "Our work lives are too long. We can't sit in a job we don't like for fifty years, it makes no sense. If we hate our jobs, we have to leave them, that's our responsibility to ourselves."
