Marci Alboher is a freelance writer, journalist, author and speaker who focuses on career and workplace trends. Her book, One Person/Multiple Careers: A New Model for Work/Life Success (Warner Books, February 2007), popularized the term “slash” to refer to a new breed of individuals who can’t answer, “What do you do?” with a single response.
Marci’s career insights have been featured throughout the media including the Today Show, The Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, CNBC, BusinessWeek Magazine, National Public Radio, USA Today, The Boston Globe, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Kansas City Star.
Marci is herself a slash. The author/journalist/speaker began her career in law after graduating from The University of Pennsylvania and American University’s Washington College of Law. After nearly ten years of practice, she used her law background as a springboard to a second career as a journalist.
Marci is currently guest blogging for Yahoo! on her new blog, Working the New Economy. She is also a frequent contributor to The New York Times, where she created the Shifting Careers column and blog. Her articles have appeared in numerous publications including: Time Out New York, Travel and Leisure, Marie Claire, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Legal Affairs, The International Herald Tribune and More Magazine covering such topics as workplace issues, entrepreneurship and travel.
A popular teacher at the New York Writers Workshop, where she sits on the executive committee, Marci helps novices break into journalism and coaches a select group of experienced nonfiction writers to the next level. Marci is also a sought-after speaker on workplace trends, career advice, and writing.
