Preparing for those tough questions that employers ask in interviews is important. But it's just as crucial to know what questions to ASK in an interview. What are the best, worst, or most interesting questions you've asked a potential employer?

I also like asking them what they expect from me 6 months down the line and a year down the line, It gives me an opportunity to know whether I will be thrown into the lions den or whether I will have time to acclimate into the position.

I recently joined a company that is going through a re-branding process. They have a new logo, mission, core values, etc. They are looking to change the URL to reflect the name change, but the URL of the entire company name is long! Are there are resources or statistics regarding using long URLs? Also, would it be bad to use the long URL and then shorten it for email domains? There is fear that people will refer to the company in the shortened way, would a strong brand & style guide fix that?
Rebecca Thorman:
I would have the long domain point to a smaller one or vice versa. And use the smaller one more. Long domains typically don't perform as well.

I led a rebranding and name change project at my last job and we used a shortened URL. ExpressEmploymentProfessionals.com was so not going to work! We went with Expresspros.com. We did have information about that in the brand guide we created, and it really wasn't a problem. Occasionally someone will answer the phone as Express Pros instead of the actual name, but the vast majority of the time it's fine. It also helped with our Twitter handle, because we could just use @expresspros. Hope all goes well!

I am thinking more and more that with the right brand guidelines, there shouldn't be a problem at all with the shortened URL. Thank you for sharing :)

Hey Baltimore Brazen -- I'm doing some research for a project on digital communities & networking for school, and I have a question for you. Are there any local, in-person networking groups or events that anyone knows about? Have you ever turned a digital connection -- from here, Twitter, etc. -- into a real-life contact? I would really appreciate any insight you have. Thanks!

I feel that posting the same content across the networks is problematic to people or are following my updates on multiple sites.

I realized that there isn't much overlap across all the forms of social media I use to promote my content. Each network/community I'm involved in is separate from the others for the most part, which is kind of cool.
