Presenting the Best of The Candidate Report (By Melinda Pittman) This month marks not only the end of 2007, but also the 15th issue of The Candidate Report newsletter.  For a little over a year now, we’ve done our best to provide practical and timely career advice for people just like you—and we hope that we’ve achieved what we set out to accomplish. We’ve been very pleased by the feedback that we’ve received from readers since we began The Candidate Report.  That feedback has been thoughtful, full of insight, and extremely helpful in guiding us through our growing process.  In addition, your feedback has allowed us to select the “best of” our newsletter during the first 15 issues. The “best of” consists of five of our previous articles (although some, which were originally published as a series, are being presented in their entirety now).  The five articles that we chose are listed below: “When the Perfect Job . . . Isn’t”—What happens when you realize, after a week on the job, that this isn’t what you signed up for? “Diffusing Culture Shock”—Maybe the work is what you thought it was going to be, but the company’s culture is radically different from what you’re used to.  Now what? Navigating a Behavioral-Based Interview”—This isn’t your father’s interview (or your mother’s).  Preparing for this type of interview will give you an edge over other candidates. “Going Back to School . . . While You’re Still Working”—The challenge is immense and the obstacles are numerous, but there are steps you can take to lessen the load—especially at work. “Mentoring” Series—This three-part series focuses on the entire process, from finding a mentor, to working with them, and then to maintaining the relationship after the mentorship is over. Once again, thanks very much for being a loyal reader of The Candidate Report.  And remember, we want to know what interests you.  If have suggestions for future topics, please be sure to send them to us for consideration.  We’re currently putting together our articles for the first half of next year, and we’d love your input and feedback. We wish you the best during this holiday season and hope that 2008 turns out to be your best year ever.  As always, if you’d like to contact me, send an email to melinda@thepittmangroup.com   BioScience | Informatics | Information Technology
