What questions can I be legally asked at a job interview?

July 20, 2005 / Dave Taylor / Business Advice / 6 Comments

I work as an independent contractor and was recently reminded that many of the questions I’m asked are illegal to ask for standard employees and I’m wondering if it’s legal for a prospective employer to ask me these questions if I’m working as an independent contractor. What exactly are the questions a prospective company is allowed to ask an independent contractor? Are there any limits or are they only supposed to ask those same questions as if you were applying for employment?

Why would I bother with networking sites like LinkedIn?

June 4, 2005 / Dave Taylor / Business Advice, LinkedIn Help / 6 Comments

Dave, I think I understand the value of networking as well as the next businessman, but for the life of me, I don’t really see what sites like LinkedIn, Ryze and Ecademy can do for me. What’s the point of these sites other than just as some sort of digital popularity contest?
