How To Give a Killer Interview
Giving a great interview can be the difference between staying in your mediocre job, and pursuing your dream career. Colin Powell, an American statesman, has said, “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” There are also no secrets to being successful in an interview. If you prepare yourself, your answers, and show you are the right worker for the company, then you will be able to rock your interview and get the job.

Great Careers for Single Parents
The best careers for single parents are much more than money-makers. Yes, these professions certainly bring in an income. That’s why you need a job, right? But they also provide the freedom, flexibility and independence that many working moms and dads need—especially when you’re parenting alone. Okay, so you’re not really alone. You’ve got help from family, friends and maybe even from your soon-to-be new co-workers. When it comes down to it, choosing one of the best careers for single parents can make your life (and your job as a parent) much easier.

Top 25 Wall Street Books
Harvard isn't worth the money. "The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." – Dr. Seuss. The corporate world, Wall Street, and the complex weave of today's global corporate culture require an education far beyond what the great business schools and universities presently offer. Perhaps the best way to prepare yourself for the future of industry and business is to study its past intrigue and sometime tragedy. The following 25 Wall Street books are hand-picked from Frommer's personal collection of favorites. Save the tuition, read the books.

Best Wall Street Films to Watch
Not available in stores, this nearly 50-hour program includes 25 required viewing classes, and it's free. This guide to the top Wall Street films is not just entertaining, it is educational. From 1981's Rollover to its younger brother Wall Street The Movie, and even the late 90's Pi, these movies explore the complex world of finance. From Danny DeVito in Other People's Money to Eddie Murphy in Trading Places, Wall Street has always relied on its sense of humor to get through the tough times. Some of my favorite picks are Barbarians at the Gate, Working Girl, and the timeless American Psycho. Forget the MBA and watch these 25 films.

Best Workplace TV Shows of the 1980s
After decades of only having three channels at our disposal, the 1980s introduced us to the miracle known as cable. Networks such as HBO and CNN–for those willing to pay the price–were welcomed additions to many homes. If you weren’t one of the lucky beneficiaries of these cable services, you always knew which neighbor was and you would count on their hospitality to watch your shows. That there was a treasure trove of entertainment sitting right in your living room was a novel and exciting concept, and the breadth of programming has only continued to multiply in the decades since.

Best Workplace TV Shows of the 2000s
As the new millennium approached, we were both nervous and excited. It was to be the dawn of a new era, checks needed to start with a 20, and no one new if time would stop when the clock struck midnight. Remember Y2K? Would the computers all go haywire? Locked stores would unlock, vaults would open, nuclear warheads would be launched. NASA was working overtime and no one knew what January 1, 2000 would bring or if it would happen at all. Prince’s classic hit 1999 was played ad nauseum and folks actually did party like it was 1999. And what were we calling this new century? The 2000’s? the zero zero’s? The double o’s? But, alas, the clock kept ticking, all was calm and peaceful, for the time being anyway, and we all had to go back to work. The shows that have graced our screens since this new century have kept us laughing and our minds off of all the things that have gone wrong since the 1 changed to a 2.

Best Workplace TV Shows of the 1990s
Welcome to the 90s. You are now somewhere between rotary phones, the Walkman and the invention of all things “i”. For the majority of this decade we were entertained by President Bill Clinton. He became a role model for every man who ever wanted to play the saxophone or commit adultery. If the president could do it, why can’t I? Especially since he, very publicly, got away with it (The adultery, not playing the saxophone). Was life imitating art or vice versa?
