Jennifer Dziura writes “Bullish,” a career and life advice column for young women that has appeared on TheGloss, The Grindstone, and The Daily Muse and is headquartered at GetBullish.com. She believes in working harder and smarter now, so you can have “balance” when you’re wrinkly and covered in diamonds. She believes in starting businesses on zero dollars, selling expensive things to rich people, and doing real things in the world rather than trying to “manifest your dreams.” She writes about class and gender issues in business, assertiveness, “gentlewomanly living,” and multiple income streams. She likes to help. Jennifer teaches the GMAT, GRE, and SAT and has authored or co-authored over a dozen test prep books. She has perfect GRE and SAT scores and a 780 on the GMAT. Jennifer's education company, Manhattan Scholarium, offers GRE and Advanced ESL classes in New York and online, in a positive, collaborative, caring, and social environment. Jennifer started her first company, an internet marketing firm, during her sophomore year at Dartmouth College. She had eight part-time employees by the time she graduated. In her spare time, she co-hosts the Williamsburg Spelling Bee, the nation’s most popular adult spelling bee, as featured in the New York Times, on NPR, and in international press from Tokyo to Sydney. Jennifer has toured the Middle East entertaining the troops as a standup comedian, appeared in a Sci Fi Channel pilot for the television show Brain Trust, is a contributor to over a dozen test prep books, and was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Network in a motivational spot in which she gave advice to her teen self (and, indirectly, to smart, frustrated teen girls everywhere).

Things Jen Says Frequently (Reading this is exactly like having coffee with me)Whether I'm teaching math or giving negotiation advice to Millennials in the workplace, I find that people who think their problem is "confidence" are usually mistaken. Generally, the problem is a lack of actionable information, and not enough grinding away at the problem. The answer is more drills, more practice, more experimentation, more learning from failure. More grit. Confidence doesn't come first. Confidence comes from results. Don't take business advice from someone whose only business is giving business advice – that, my friend, is a pyramid scheme. Your reputation should precede you before you walk into a room. Before you negotiate. Before anyone sees your resumé, and certainly before a computer has a chance to weed out your resumé. Establish expertise and demand credit where credit is due. Networking is meaningless without an intellectual practice behind it. Knowing five thousand people is nice, but what do those people think of you besides the fact that you know 4,999 other people? Intellectual work is solitary and often slow. But without it, what do you bring to your relationships? Better to have the professional respect of ten of the right people than a database of thousands. A lot of people like the idea of "leaning in," but the book itself was problematic. You fight systemic sexism by changing the system, not by putting the onus on individual women to constantly buck themselves up within a corrupt system. The book also represented only a very small subset of professional women. Non-intersectional feminism is no feminism at all.
