  1. Saying "sh*t" during the first three minutes of an interview (or at all) is NOT a good idea!
  2. Unless a man is here for something other than job advice, leave the cologne at home. bit.ly/vEBgih
  3. If you've been working for five years, no one really cares about your sophomore year summer internship. bit.ly/vEBgih
  4. "No I haven't had time yet" is never the right answer to "have you looked at the Web site?" bit.ly/vEBgih
  5. If you've talked for 55 minutes of an hour interview, trust me, it didn't go well. bit.ly/vEBgih
  6. just downloaded the beta version of spotify-fantastic.
  7. Check your nail polish before you go on an interview. Honest chipped isn't a "look"
  8. jeans for guys, cleavage for girls. Bad ideas for interview attire, Saw both this week and cost candidates points.
  9. Nielsen has my 88 yr old mom filling out a diary for may sweeps. she only watches price is right. what up with that??
  10. We always hear it, but it's completely true: don't burn bridges. Check in on occasion, see how you can help. What goes around comes around.
  11. What's some good career advice you'ved received lately? Share it with us here!
  12. best line of wk. "didn't look at website so when asked what I liked about the company, I was at a loss for words". no prep-no job.
  13. For the best resume, get another pair of eyes. Often, we're so proud of our accomplishments that we're blind to what's missing.
