STOP using Windows Copy and Paste

Please do not use the built in Windows Copy/Paste tool. It constantly requires you to ‘baby’ it by clicking any popup windows pertaining to the copy.

Instead, use the following FREE utility that performs a MUCH quicker and more efficient copy.

Roadkil’s Unstoppable Copier (http://www.roadkil.net/program.php/P29/Unstoppable%20Copier)

There are two versions of this program: ‘Installer Version’ and ‘Stand Alone Version’

It’s quite convenient to use the installer version on your own workstation, however if you carry a flash drive, I highly recommend downloading a copy of the Stand Alone version to keep with you. Whenever you need to copy a large amount of files from one location to another, this program will not only copy faster, but will help eliminate the annoying pop-up windows and allow you to ‘walk away’ from the copy rather than worrying about if you will have to respond to any prompts.

If you have any questions or need help using the program, the following link is to the Unstoppable Copier’s User Guide:

Interview Questions - What do they REALLY want to know?

Below is a link to a great article outlining several very common questions that you could be asked during an interview, along with an explanation as to what exactly they're trying to find out about you...

If you're out looking in the job market for something new (or you're currently unemployed), now's your chance to take your search a step further and properly educate yourself so that when you do land that interview, you'll be well prepared, and that much more likely to actually get the job.
