In the summer of 2007, Holly Tamura landed (pardon the pun) at Northwest Airlines as a Senior Pricing Analyst for the Pacific Revenue Management group. She is responsible for revenue maximization through tactical and strategic U.S. point of sales pricing and competitive data analysis for the company’s Japan market. With the recent merger between NWA and Delta, we thought it would be an interesting time to catch up with Holly and learn more about her international background and exciting things happening in the airline industry. We think you’ll agree that Holly’s story is a fascinating one!

Getting the shakes from too much Red Bull is one thing, but nervous jitters during an important job interview can end the most promising of opportunities. We’ve all dealt with interview nervousness, so it came as no surprise that one Nextworking member requested our insight into how to take feelings of doubt and apprehension and turn them into confident articulation of skills and experience.

Best Kept Secret
|
|
. . . . .
Regardless of your holiday of choice, we believe this edition’s Best Kept Secret has a little something for everyone…deep felt sentiment, philanthropic cheer, and real buttered popcorn for less than that Fa-La-Latte you rationalized purchasing today. Did we mention that nothing about this wintertime fun requires you to linger for more than a moment outside?
