Informative article; the first sentence seems to slow a bit an other wise crisp pace. good job overall.

Solid sound recommendations, Stephen.

Very useful tips, Stephen! I attended a free workshop a few years ago that supported what you're teaching us here. We did role-playing, which was extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing!

great advice if one is 1) needs a job 2) is looking to explore other areas for jobs and 3) wants to go up the corporate ladder.
sometimes talking to others in industry as a networking situation is also useful
