How does Facebook figure into your career, job search approach? I just wrote a piece for Fortune.com about how and why Gen Y doesn't share its job or employment info on Facebook as much as Gen X and Boomers do - it's at http://bit.ly/wTtt1g . (Research by Dan Schawbel's Millennial Branding.) It made me wonder how much of our career information does show up on Facebook, and how that's changing. So how do you use Facebook professionally? And any advice for others who are just starting on this?

And a few businesses that train project managers who might be good to contact about jobs, or even teaching classes. Good luck!

Make a comeback after a bad interview. If you have a legitimate reason for messing up the first interview, maybe you could get a second chance. My Glassdoor blog post looks at some ways back - http://bit.ly/zk5rWP .
I'd love to hear your experiences with making a comeback in the hiring process - and any strategies that worked for you.

If you're starting to build your brand and increase your visibility with an eye toward a new job, make sure you think through how to do this under the radar. With some advice from Job-Hunt.org's Susan Joyce, I give some ideas for "stealth networking" in this Glassdoor post: http://www.glassdoor.com/blog/increase-visibility-networking-quietly/
What other advice would you offer to keep your job search networking and outreach low key?

If I were to chose 1 experience that has had a major influence in whom I am today, I say it's the opportunity I was given to live in & visit differenct countries: when I was 7 my family moved from Argentina to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. When I was 21 I moved to the US. I have also visited multiple countries. Being exposed to so many different cultures has had a HUGE impact in my life (personally and professionally).
Do you have one thing you can point to as a major driver of whom you are today?

Your insights are interesting and inspiring. Hmmm, for me, a major driver was finding myself homeless in high school. I worked full time, attended school, lived in a car and went on to put myself through college. I still feel as if I can accomplish anything.

At the risk of repeating myself, I am interviewing college grads up to age 30 who were not that engaged in high school and college but have blossomed in their careers. Are you someone like that? Would you like to be interviewed for my upcoming book? If so, please let me know if you will spend a half hour by phone with me. Career advice included, gratis!

She pulled her looks together at the last minute and became the first project runway contestant to lose her money while shopping for fabric. Michael Kors admitted that her competitor's final collection was substantially stronger. So how did Anya score the $100,000 winner and what can she teach us about workplace competition? http://gearsandshifts.com/2011/10/what-project-runway-winner-anya-ayoung...

One of the mistakes I constantly hear jobseekers committing is going into an interview and focusing on why they want to work for Company X - they're cool, innovative, cutting edge, etc.. What a hiring manager wants to know is, what you can bring to the table and what's unique about you that really makes you the best fit for the role! Some more thoughts on why having a solid grasp on your 'personal brand' can make (or break) the job interview. http://tinyurl.com/63ol9lr

Every career has a series of pivotal moments that bring success or disappointment. The better we are at spotting and acting on those moments, the more likely we are to make good choices. What have been your most significant pivotal moments? How did you spot them? Where did they take you? Here are a few that might interest you. http://wp.me/pJhPc-qU
