A few words of thanks before we get to this weeks column. First, to my wife Rosanne, my in-house editor who touches everything before it goes out, many heartfelt thanks for catching all the missing words and punctuation.

There would be no reason at all to write my columns or produce my podcasts without you. Your questions and comments are eagerly awaited at career@welchwrite.com or as comments on the web site at welchwrite.com/career/. Please keep them coming. I want to insure that each show is as helpful as possible and your comments are always welcome.
