Interview of the Month This month, Engage Charlotte interviewed Jason Cipriani, a principal in Global Strategic Capital at Bank of America, about his community involvement and its interrelationship to career development. "Community involvement is not only very gratifying, but also a great way to leverage your experience outside of your primary profession. Through my various leadership roles with United Way Young Leaders, I have seen firsthand the impact a group of young professionals can have on the community. It can certainly be frustrating at times, but learning how to lead your peers to achieve a common goal is very fulfilling. It certainly has made me more aware of how best to leverage my strengths and overcome my weaknesses." >>read more News If you (or anyone you know in the U.S.) is under 30 years old and was laid off in 2008 or 2009, please take a survey regarding the experience. The survey deadline is July 31, 2009. Please visit www.surveymonkey.com/recessionsurvey to complete the survey, which will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes and is anonymous.
