Intern blogging on the rise, but what’s slowing “us” down?

The New York Times posted an interesting article about the rise in interns and their innocence about workplace rules and corporate culture.  The NYT adds, interns are facing the problem of moving from a "like-minded" generation to the diversity of corporate america.  Interns mistankingly talk about their company, which has made several corporations impose several restrictions.  (this is not a bad idea)

The moral of the story: interns use blogs as a way to transition from "MySpace" to the corporate world, so there is no need to be alarmed. Instead provide awareness about the "Do's and Dont's" of blogging.  (Perhaps that will my next post!)

I make this statement with caution, but I will hold to it 100%:

I WILL NOT WORK AT A COMPANY THAT SAYS I CAN'T BLOG

(note: I never have nor will I ever talk about my employer and/or talk about confidential information)


HERE's WHY:

I believe blogging has helped me grow as an individual, scholar, and business professional.  Here's a glimpse of what I have learned throughout my internship and how blogging has played an important role:

Blogging has enabled me to keep a "safe" of everything I have learned while sharing it with the public.  New generations of interns will have the same questions I have, and my hope is to provide them with resources to excel in the workforce. 

This is my tool to help others.  Why block us from it?
