9 Top Career Blogs to Read

The blog world has changed a lot in the past few years but I still love sitting down and getting inspiration from my favorite blogs. Although I’m a journalist, I enjoy mostly reading blog posts that have nothing to do with my profession. I’ve learned that climbing the career ladder (especially for young women) looks pretty similar across industries once you read about different peoples experiences..

I put together a list of my favorite career blogs. Some of these are considered more ‘lifestyle’ blogs that include a career section. I’ve also included a mixture of both big and small blogs. I hope reading these blogs can help you in your career endeavors this year!

GIRL WITH DRIVE

Well, of course, I had to put my own blog on the list =). When I first started this blog in 2012, it was mainly to document my college experience. However, over the past three years, I’ve dedicated my little space on the Internet to giving career advice. My posts are honest and tell the lessons I’ve learned by being a young professional. Check out my post on why you shouldn’t put your address on your resume and how to deal with a shady co-worker.

A LITTLE BIT OF LACQUER

Laura has hands down been my favorite blogger for years. She went to Harvard Medical School and is now a dermatology resident. She also has three young daughters and a husband. Laura has always been open about sharing how she juggles her job and personal life. She is so transparent and real about the struggles she’s faced and how she overcame them. Even if you have no interest in medicine, you’ll learn a ton of practical information by reading her blog. Check out her posts on the power of mentors and getting past our own self-doubt.

GOODTOMICHA

I’ve been following Tomi for a little over a year now. She is incredibly driven and organized. As an MBA student, she’s interned at big companies such as Business Insider and Intel. Tomi mostly writes about fashion and lifestyle but her posts on how to be a rockstar intern and things you should do if you’re moving to new city are great reads.

NATHALY DOVE

Nathaly is a bomb blogger from Fresno who is a fellow journalist like myself. She has a great YouTube channel as well as a really informative blog that is focused on her life of being a boss babe. If you have an interest in online media or making a living from your blog/vlog, definitely go over the Nathaly’s blog. Be sure to read her post on the 10 things she learned as her first year as a web producer.

XORO MEDIA

Rosana has a wonderful series on her blog called Intern Diaries. You could literally binge read her articles all day. She interviews people on how they landed their dream internships. What I love about her series is that there is a range of careers she features. From someone who landed an internship at NASA to a psychology student who gained clinical experience, there are so many interesting stories to read. Also she has a bomb podcast called Get This Girl a Job.

THREE THOUSAND MILES

Trisha is pursuing her medical degree and MBA. Talk about busy! I’ve utterly enjoyed reading Trisha’s blog all of last year. Reading her journey about moving away from home to pursue her dreams and how to make decisions when you have competing offers really spoke to me. Trisha doesn’t glamorize things and this is what I love about her. She discusses the clinical rotations she enjoyed and ones she wouldn’t want to do again. Trisha gets real about the sacrifices she’s made for her career while still motivating others to go after their goals. Her whole blog is a most read.

KEEP CALM AND CHIFFON

Austen is magazine editor turned fashion blogger. Her career section on her beautifully designed blog are must-reads for anyone interested in going into style writing. I loved her post on managing your money as a freelancer and how to go from intern to a full-time employee.

THE CONFUSED MILLENNIAL

I believe I discovered Rachel’s blog on Pinterest a couple years ago. The Confused Millennial is packed with basically everything career and productivity related. I literally read this blog almost daily. A couple of my favorite blog posts are 5 times to say no at work and how to budget when you’re transitioning to becoming self-employed.

SEQUINS AND SALES

Florida blogger Amanda has written some great posts on her internship experiences. She’s currently as custom buyer intern at Disney and has blogged about how to get the most out of LinkedIn and how to use Canva for your career.

Stay driven.

  5. ciclosporin, also spelled cyclosporine and cyclosporin, is a calcineurin inhibitor, used as an immunosuppressant medication. it is a natural product. it is taken by mouth or by injection into a vein for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, crohn’s disease, nephrotic syndrome, and in organ transplants to prevent rejection. it is also used as eye drops for keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eyes).

    common side effects include high blood pressure, headache, kidney problems, increased hair growth, and vomiting. other severe side effects include an increased risk of infection, liver problems, and an increased risk of lymphoma. blood levels of the medication should be checked to decrease the risk of side effects. use during pregnancy may result in preterm birth; however, ciclosporin does not appear to cause birth defects.

    ciclosporin is believed to work by decreasing the function of lymphocytes. it does this by forming a complex with cyclophilin to block the phosphatase activity of calcineurin, which in turn decreases the production of inflammatory cytokines by t-lymphocytes.

    ciclosporin was isolated in 1971 from the fungus tolypocladium inflatum and came into medical use in 1983. it is on the world health organization’s list of essential medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system. in 2017, it was the 248th most commonly prescribed medication in the united states, with more than one million prescriptions that year.

    medical uses
    ciclosporin is approved by the fda to treat and prevent graft-versus-host disease in bone marrow transplantation and to prevent rejection of kidney, heart, and liver transplants. it is also approved in the us for treating of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, persistent nummular keratitis following adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis, and as eye drops for treating dry eyes caused by sj?gren’s syndrome and meibomian gland dysfunction.

    in addition to these indications, ciclosporin is also used in severe atopic dermatitis, kimura disease, pyoderma gangrenosum, chronic hives, acute systemic mastocytosis, and posterior or intermediate uveitis with noninfective cause.[citation needed] it is also used, albeit infrequently, in severe rheumatoid arthritis and related diseases.[citation needed]

    ciclosporin has also been used in people with acute severe ulcerative colitis and hives that do not respond to treatment with steroids.

  6. [url=https://www.tcspharmaceuticals.com/pro/Liothyronine_sodium_55-06-1_t3_for_weight_loss_usage_and_formulation.html]liothyronine[/url] is a manufactured form of the thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (t3). it is most commonly used to treat hypothyroidism and myxedema coma. it is generally less preferred than levothyroxine. it can be taken by mouth or by injection into a vein.

    side effects may occur from excessive doses. this may include weight loss, fever, headache, anxiety, trouble sleeping, arrythmias, and heart failure. use in pregnancy and breastfeeding is generally safe. regular blood tests are recommended to verify the appropriateness of the dose being taken.

    liothyronine was approved for medical use in 1956. it is available as a generic medication. a month’s supply in the united kingdom costs the nhs about gb?247 as of 2019. in the united states the wholesale cost of this amount is about us$22.40. in 2017, it was the 252nd most commonly prescribed medication in the united states, with more than one million prescriptions.

    medical uses
    liothyronine is a generally less preferred option to levothyroxine (t4) for people with hypothyroidism. it may be used when there is an impaired conversion of t4 to t3 in peripheral tissues. the dose of liothyronine for hypothyroidism is a lower amount than levothyroxine due it being a higher concentrated synthetic medication. about 25 µg of liothyronine is equivalent to 100 µg of levothyroxine.

    in thyroid cancer or graves’ disease, ablation therapy with radioactive iodine (131i) can be used to remove trace thyroid tissue that may remain after thyroidectomy (surgical excision of the gland). for 131i therapy to be effective, the trace thyroid tissue must be avid to iodine, which is achieved by elevating the person’s tsh levels. for patients taking levothyroxine, tsh may be boosted by discontinuing levothyroxine for 3–6 weeks. this long period of hormone withdrawal is required because of levothyroxine’s relatively long biological half-life, and may result in symptoms of hypothyroidism in the patient. the shorter half-life of liothyronine permits a withdrawal period of two weeks, which may minimize hypothyroidism symptoms. one protocol is to discontinue levothyroxine, then prescribe liothyronine while the t4 levels are falling, and finally stop the liothyronine two weeks before the radioactive iodine treatment.

    liothyronine may also be used for myxedema coma because of its quicker onset of action when compared to levothyroxine. use for the treatment of obesity is not recommended.
