Kerry Washington is, to put it bluntly, the effing best. We’ve loved her since she played Julia Stiles’s scene-stealing BFF in Save The Last Dance, and we love that she’s now the first black female lead in a network drama since 1974 (1974!!!!!!) , playing Olivia Pope on Shonda Rimes’s hit Scandal. She also has the best red carpet game out there (Zoe Saldana is on par with her, MAYBE) and is a reliably funny and charming presence in interviews. And after watching her commencement speech to the 2013 graduating class at her alma mater George Washington University, we have about a million more reasons to love her.

Resumés are the modern day sonnets, no? Within a certain set of parameters (and a single page, because resumés longer than one page are the enemy of progress) you can say whatever you want in order to woo whomever you wish. Most of the time resumés end up looking and sounding pretty similar: “optimized this” and “increased that,” which is why you get so much tinkering with fonts and formats and borders designed to make candidates stand out. Do you ever wonder, though, how your resumé might change if you were able to format it however you liked?

These days, job hopping is practically a way of life. Gone is the idea of spending four decades at one company, ultimately retiring with a gold watch and a pension plan. According to the  Bureau of Labor Statistics,  the median number of years workers stay at a given job is only 4.6, which allows them to rack up as many as 10 gigs in a lifetime.

There’s a whole lot more going on in Brooklyn than just trees growing and adult actor and filmmaker D.Wise wants you to know about it.
