Job Seeking Tips from the Experts
In this tough job market, we put those questions to experts today on @katiecouric.
The full interview clip is embedded below.
Looking for some job-seeking tips? Don't write your resume based on the jobs you've had. Instead, "write the resume for the job you want," suggests Ellen Gordon Reeves.
Ellen Gordon Reeves also suggests, "Stop looking for a job, and start looking for a person."
It's better to meet people and make real connections in what she calls "the hidden job market."
Why shouldn't you be worried about the gap in your resume? Don't mind the gap, mine the gap.
So what exactly is a "jobless recovery?" Conor Dougherty of the Wall Street Journal Continue »
"Time" Editor on Afghan Woman Cover: "It's a Very Scary Image"
How did Steve Hartman Do That?
Did you see the Steve Hartman story from last night? So how exactly did Steve shoot the clever stand-up? (Scroll ahead to approx 1:15 in the video)
Hartman's response, is below.
So how did I travel back in time? It was simple - by looking ahead.
Last winter I started thinking about how people always complain about the weather.
I decided then to do a story about it and shot some interviews and a portion of my on-cameras.
Then, when summer rolled around, I went back to the exact same locations and shot the other half of the on camera interludes.
The only other trick was bringing two sets of clothes and wearing those same clothes in both the winter and summer versions.
So no Houdini magic. Just a little advance planning.

Newhart: "I'd Like to See all the Reality Shows Go Away."
For years, the final scene of the final episode of the classic TV hit, "Newhart," starring comedy legend Bob Newhart, has been rated as one of TV's most memorable finales.
TV Guide even voted it "the" most memorable final scene of a series on television.
It was Newhart's wife, Ginnie, who gave birth to the idea of bringing back Bob's former TV series wife, Suzanne Pleshette, for the series finale. The idea was that Bob would wake up from his "dream" of being a Vermont innkeeper and, of course, his "reel" wife, Suzanne, aka "Emily Hartley," would be next to him in the bed. Alas, eight seasons of "Newhart" was only a dream.
On May 21, 1990, the final episode of "Newhart," one that would make history and stick in people's minds for decades, aired on CBS TV.
Twenty years later, Bob Newhart returns to the network Friday, to celebrate this landmark television event - only on the "CBS Evening News with Katie Couric."
