Ask Liz
Dear Liz,
I am a single woman, and I work a lot of hours at my job. I am very conscious of the fact that most of my co-workers, men and women, are married with kids, and so they have to rush out of the office to get home for dinner. I don't have those obligations, so I get stuck working late a lot of the time. I like my co-workers, but it's not fair to me. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sandee

"Having a good headhunter on your side is like having a telescope pointed right into the boardrooms of technology companies that are hiring in 2005. Isn’t that knowledge and advice something that’s worth your time and energy?"
