1. During the lecture I advised everyone to practice, practice, practice your resume and interviewing skills. Is that good advice and how do you go about practicing a resume or an interview?

2. We all have or will soon submit resumes and interview for a job. What are some of the tips you have heard or used for first writing a resume and second participating in a successful interview (lets learn from each other)?

3. Let's assume you are interviewing for a retail sales position or a professional position in a bank, Dr. office, hospital, etc. How should you dress? Do tattoos, body piercings etc. hinder your job search? Should they?

4. Last weeks discussion was very interesting. Many of you took me and Hertzberg to task over my assertion that money is not a motivator. I usually get mixed reactions to this question (that's why I ask it) and I was surprised at how many of you agreed that money is not, at least a major motivator.    I appreciate the discussion but I'm still not convinced. Let's talk some more about money and motivation. If money is a motivator does the highest paying employer get the best employees and the best performance? If so why doesn't everyone pay high wages? If money is not a motivator should we endeavor to keep wages at a minimum and pay as little as possible? It's a motivator so pay as much as you can or It's not a motivator so pay as little as possible. I'm confused. Are there other factors at work here? Help me understand.
