CAREER: APPLY TO THE REPOSTED JOB LISTING
If you’re on the job hunt, applying promptly to reposted job listings you’re upping your chances of being noticed (as opposed to taking your time to apply). Job postings receive the highest volume of applications within the first 48 hours, but the number of applicants displayed on job boards is usually just the count of those who clicked "apply," not the number who completed the application process. So when companies repost, they’re really looking for the quick fingers!

LIFESTYLE: GEN Z’S CREDIT CARD OBSESSION
American Express, which has been previously viewed as a prestigious credit card catering to the wealthy and older demographic, has successfully rebranded itself to appeal to younger generations like millennials and Gen Z. Amex updated its perks to include things like Uber credits, streaming service subscriptions, shopping credits at retailers like Saks and Walmart, and exclusive access to events like music festivals and the US Open. Amex positioned these premium, high annual fee cards as desirable status symbols offering special privileges to the younger set.

BUSINESS: CAN LUXURY BRANDS MEME THEIR WAY INTO GEN Z HEARTS?
Luxury brands are feeling the challenge of connecting Gen Z audiences through social media, while maintaining their authority and brand identity. Some brands like Marc Jacobs and Loewe have found success by collaborating with viral creators and participating in popular internet trends that showcase their relatability to youth culture, but other brands’ efforts have backfired big time. It seems as though they have to carefully navigate the delicate balance of staying relevant while preserving their brand essence, a task that carries inherent risks in the ever-changing digital landscape.

Tiny Beautitul Things by Cheryl Strayed draws upon her own personal experiences and struggles and sharing personal stories. Through her responses to readers' letters seeking advice on various issues, she offers guidance, tough love, and reflections on the challenges of life.

This book is a gem that offers solace, inspiration, and a deeper understanding of the shared human experience. Strayed's words have the power to heal, uplift, and inspire readers to live more authentic and courageous lives.
