Learning from a reader: Thank you to John from Atlanta for sharing this: "I read the article "8 Important Questions to Ask a Job Interviewer - And Yourself" in one of your last newsletter e-mails. I used the questions in an interview and was very pleased with the information I was able to gather about the company and their needs. I also earned their trust and respect for asking "Why is the position open?" and "What are the expectations 60 to 90 days into the job?" Thank you for your helpful resources!"

8 Tacky Job Search Faux Pas

Don't commit these tactless job hunt blunders.

There are good, bad and straight-up ugly ways to job search. The last route involves zero tact or self-awareness, and it often rubs both current and prospective employers the wrong way. Job seek with some grace.

U.S. News asked career and etiquette experts to reveal tremendously tacky job search faux pas, so you know what not to do...  One piece of advice: Don't Tweet (or post anywhere for that matter) about your job interview...

Crawford says prospective employers will likely research you online and "can probably find more than you would like them to." Therefore, discussing your interview on social media – even if the meeting went well – is a no-no. "Posting about interviews will make it look like you can't keep things to yourself or maintain confidentiality and that you don't understand how to behave professionally," she says.   Read More of the article here for the 8 tips.

"I feel so much better prepared to make my career choices; not only am I confident in my decisions, but they are genuinely what I want - it's like my subsconscious mind and heart were both tapped into!” – Andrea
