As you can see, I'm taking it! It's definitely the little things that count in such an overwhelming job market. Because it's so easy to just go online in your pajamas and apply for jobs over the internet people neglect to pay attention to the details of the employer requests and often get overlooked. Thanks for the heads up! Lindsey Great advice, Jeremy! As you can see, I’m taking it! It’s definitely the little things that count in such an overwhelming job market.

Social media is being using by everyone from students to presidential nominees. People need to be ready to take on the advantages as well as the consequences [forwarded emails, inappropriate photos] that come with using Twitter, Facebook, etc. It's not just a social "let's-be-friends-on-Facebook" site anymore. And of course, thanks for the great tips on job intreview preparation! :Linda Jeremy:

I feel infinitely more comfortable with a hundred or so pairs of eyes staring back at me than I do with one or two pairs in a job interview. With that said, I love the challenge of interviewing, trying to demonstrate the perfect balance of humor, rapport and passion that will make an impression without seeming rehearsed or insincere. Over the next few weeks I will, hopefully, be given the opportunity to practice my balancing act for companies that excite and inspire me. Your advice in this post will be at the top of my mind during these interviews, especially if you're one of the pairs of eyes. I love giving presentations and speaking to large groups of people.

Too many times we think that employers "understand" the different between using social media for fun and work, when in actuality they see it as how we act in a professional environment. One dumb tweet and we could not get an interview. This is a great post and I will be passing it on. Thanks!

Pay attention, people! Take down that picture of you winning a wet t-shirt contest while simultaneously taking a jello shot off your dog! You'll regret it in the end, if you don't already.
