So I know many people are interviewing for jobs alot or maybe you have a business and you do the interviewing.

Well I thought you should know that there are questions that you can not ask, because they are illegal. I am linking two sites that will help you get familiar with what they (and or you) can't do and what they might do to try to get around it. Please leave a comment if this was imformative.

For Colored Gurls

So I came across this site about a week ago and I dig it. Let me start of from a quote from their about us page,"for colored gurls is a lifestyle blog created by Jamie Fleming in September 2008. It caters primarily to women of color, but it’s open to any and everyone who wants to read it!"

This blogs has so many areas that interest me I love the Bodacious Bloggers, its a fa sure good read everyday. They also discuss culture, health, life, news, natural beauties. They have Flyy Fridays, Interviews, a question of the week, successful sistas and so much more. This site deserves a look aftering visiting you'll probably wanna stay.

The Lala Report xx

http://www.thelalareport.com/

This site has the latest in fashion and music news. Miss Lala, the author has worked in both of these industries. I love her blog because she is pretty straight forward and checks the hating at the door. Her no nonsense stance is one that I welcome. So there is no need to worry about bashing on this blog, she has set a standard in her space. If fashion and music, rock you boat, then take a splash over to, The Lala Report xx.

Skills Profiler

This is actually the first thing I ever used from the http://www.careeronestop.org/ site. I help me fill in the gaps that were in my resume.

It helped to create a list of skills and match them to job types that need those skills. It can also help you identify occupations that use your current skills, complete your resume.
