It's April - and that means a couple of timely events are occurring. First of all, if you've earned any kind of money at all in the past year - it's practically tax time. Federal income tax forms have to be postmarked by midnight on Monday, April 16th this year.
Secondly - though most of us have just endured a cold and snowy weekend, it is springtime. And April showers bring May flowers. So we've got allergies to look forward to amidst all the spring warmth and growth. (I say warmth, because I know it's coming back sometime soon!)
Lastly - for many of you - this is the time you start sending out resumes and looking for that summer job, which your parents hope will become the beginning of a well-paid career. Our local paper recently ran an article on best practices for job interviews. To see the article, click on the link, then go to business, personal finance news, and Steps to Prepare for Good Job Interview.
One critical point they made, before you go on your first or last interview or any job interviews in-between, you should ask yourself, "Why should they hire me?" I guarantee your prospective employer will ask that question, so be sure you have a great answer! Think carefully about the value you can offer them.
