What's different about today's job market than when I got my first job several years ago?
I downloaded a resume' template off the internet and filled it in with my information. Why won't that work?
I'm over 50, and can't seem to get any kind of reaction from employers. Isn't age discrimination illegal?
I recently graduated from college and haven't found a job yet. I don't have much experience, so what do I have to offer an employer?
I've seen several ads from companies that promise to find me a job if I sign up for their program and pay a significant up-front fee. I'm tempted to do it. Are they worth it?
It's been a long time since I went through an interview, and I'm nervous. What can I do about it?
I think I'm going to get an offer from a company that I recently interviewed with, but I don't know how to handle the compensation issue. Do I have any leverage on my side, and if so, how do I use it?
What do you mean by "marketing" yourself?
