Subject: Have a nice holiday week, but don't forget to take a look at these

It's my favorite holiday this week - Independence Day!

Great weather.  Burgers and hot dogs on the grill. Family and friends laughing.  Parades.  Fireworks.  And the Boston Pops playing great music.

While you're spending time with loved ones, don't forget about other friends and professional contacts.

This week's articles are all about networking - social or otherwise - plus 1 about salary requirements.

First up is an article about the number 1 thing job seekers do wrong:
