Another week and another host of great job hunting and career advice articles from around the web.  I hope the new year is bringing you all some success in your careers!

From JobseekersAdvice.com

I started off the week by reviewing some tough interview questions and offering some advice on how to answer them – feel free to leave a comment with your own examples of interview questions that you found difficult to deal with.  When you are done with that, have a read of my post about subtle interview factors and how they can affect the outcome of your interview.

Later in the week I created a post based on some of our old forum posts of the subject of what you hate about your job.  There are some interesting comments so why not drop by and share your experiences?  Or what not tell us about what your favourite things are that weren’t written into your employment contract?

I also wrote a short article discussing graphic designer’s CVs and how they should be targeted at each individual employer (which is good advice for everyone!).
