From asking about benefits and salary negotiations to growth opportunities and a basic description of a typical day, these are the best questions to ask before taking a job. You never want to arrive to work on your first day, just to release that you have wasted your time because all of your deal-breaking questions weren't asked.

10 Signs Your Résumé Isn't Working
When it comes to job hunting, it's a lot of work. Not only is it very nerve-racking, but you literally have to impress anyone who's looking for employees to fill in a position. You have to pretty much have good experience to acquire the position you're interested in, write a killer résumé, and if you get requested for an interview, you have to show up on time and look presentable. You basically have to show them that you're the most perfect fit for that position.

All The Tools and Tips You Need to Start Your Business Online

Toys "R" Us Founder Charles P. Lazarus Passes Away
Wow, it's actually happening. Toys "R" Us is closing its doors. I was in denial for the longest time. So I suppose this is now my five stages of grieving for the toy distributor. It's only when I spoke with my friend the other day did I realize this might actually happen. Even now as I write this, I am shocked that a giant that massive will be closing. So many people grew up with Toys "R" Us, having seen the big stores or the commercials about the latest toys. They had it all; Nerf toys, Yugioh cards, EVERYTHING! And now when I pass by the massive building, only a shallow grave of its former glory.

I Know You Mean Well, But...
Blank pages. Deadlines. Rewrites on rewrites. Just a few things that can lead to a stressed out and depressed writer. A stigma that fits most of us, if not all, mainly because it’s a job that can be lonely and requires an at times unhealthy amount of discipline to focus on. It helps when we have friends and family that inspire us to be the best we can be.

Hannah vs. Unemployment
Admittedly, I have been extremely fortunate not to have experienced long periods of unemployment. Having said that, the experience I do have allows me to empathise somewhat with those of you that have. There are very, very few things in this life more demoralising or soul-destroying than being on the hunt for a job. You’ve more hoops to jump through than… than… than someone with lots of hoops to jump through. It seriously can be a bottomless pit of irritation and disappointment. Life quickly turns in to a hideously bleak cycle of weekly CV sprucing, lengthy application questions, the trolling of every job site imaginable, setting up endless job alert emails (ironically mostly alerting you to jobs you don’t really want), being over-qualified, being under-qualified, being too inexperienced, sweaty interview handshakes, sweaty interview rooms, general sweaty-ness, and of course, after enduring all that, let's not forget that delightful, bitter sting of rejection.
