I was inspired by Selena Deckelmann's list of Career Resources for Women (http://www.chesnok.com/daily/career-resources-for-women/), but couldn't think of much to contribute. So I thought maybe those of us already in the field and in a position to mentor could work on creating more. Please fork or comment and add your own!

Also: there is a wealth of info online and elsewhere dating back to the first time it occurred to our species to exchange labor for currency on these topics in general. What I hope we can provide here is our take as individuals. What we would say to someone if we were sitting across from her acting as a mentor. I don't think we should worry about being objectively "right", or about duplicating topics. I add this bit of anti-editorializing in hopes that women will contribute without feeling pressured to be experts, which I worry might prevent them from doing so. TY. :)

Dear Recruiter or Hopeful Employer,

I'm going to be frank.

I don't have the time or energy to have a phone chat with every recruiter who contacts me. If you want to know about me, such as if I'm worth pursuing, I can answer any questions you have via email. I will only talk on the phone to the employees of the prospective company.

That said, here's the answer to most questions:

• Are you looking for a new job?
  Not really, unless it meets my specific criteria.
