Great advice, Amy. It is a dreaded question, and as Barry said also 'worthless, inane, canned, stupid, silly interview questions'. You'd think the interviewer could come up with something more original? Being prepared is key. Having well-thought ...

I think the age may be less relative. Rather, I'd propose that lifestyle choices such as choosing to stay single and not having kids allows people to be more mobile than the 40-something's of 10 or 20 years ago.

Hi Joe, I know! I just turned 39 (gulp!) and don't like the thought of the "F" years (Forty, Fifty), but at least it's nice to hear that trends are changing for the better! ;) Thanks for the comment. Erin

40 IS THE NEW 30? You know how we all keep hearing, “40 is the NEW 30!”?– well, I’m not quite sure how much of that I really believe, maybe it is in Hollywood– but in the workforce, aging seems to be something people want to disguise and play dow...

Are Executive Salaries Changing?



During this recession, there has been much discussion of the exorbitant salaries paid to executives. CEOs of failed companies are walking away secure, while the employees of these companies are losing their shirts, or rather, their homes.

40 IS THE NEW 30?

You know how we all keep hearing, “40 is the NEW 30!”?– well, I’m not quite sure how much of that I really believe, maybe it is in Hollywood– but in the workforce, aging seems to be something people want to disguise and play down.

Caller: “Hi, um, my name is John. I want to know about your resume service and when you can finish it. Because I need it soon.”

Clueless about Cover Letters?



You are not alone! Cover letters can be difficult for people to write... even tougher than the resume itself. Why is that? What makes a good cover letter?

Cover letters don't have to be impossible. There really aren’t many ‘rules’ to writing them. You can let your personality shine through while positiv… Continue

Do you know what you 'sound' like in emails?



You finish your post/text/IM, hit 'send', and at that second yell, "Noooo!", feeling you sounded harsh/dumb/silly/desperate/bored/ ___?--feel free to fill in the blank here.

These days, maintaining an online presence is more important than ever for job seekers and entrepreneurs. It’s a lightening fast way to develop connections, cultivate friendships, a… Continue
