I'm excited to introduce to you our very first "Dear CareerOwl" column.
Congratulations go to Everett, who writes:
I want to write opinion
and information pieces for newspapers and could also work in radio being able to
"voice" any of my work to a professional standard...I have done one or two
opinion pieces for the student radio and the student newspaper at the university
here but wasn't entirely happy with the results. I might as well have stood on
my front step and waved a broom at passing traffic.
If you want to avoid a career in broom waving at traffic, click here for our
first Dear CareerOwl column ever!

Our next column is coming up soon. Job search stalled? Wondering about a career change? Email me at david@careerowl.ca with your question. Good luck to all participants!
Back to indexYour next job interview -- will it be a torturous cross-examination or an effortless walk in the park?

Because if you prepare for the tough interview questions ahead of time, you'll likely do very well and actually enjoy the process.
