Will You Add? - Find Out Where You Suck
Many job seekers miss a golden opportunity when they are asked towards the end of an interview if they have any questions. If they feel the interviewer adequately explained the position, they make the mistake of answering "No" to this question. But this is the perfect time to find out if you

Ever since our team returned from last year’s major SEO conventions our team has been ignited with new, bold and innovative ideas. I don't think there has been any point in our eight year history that we have had a better team assembled. We've got more ideas on the table than we'll be able to i
Because I want to know what sucks.
Sure, it hurts. But I’ll take hurting over sucking any day.
Also, notice I said to find out “what” sucks, not “who sucks.”
Don’t take it personally.
It’s not the author who sucks; it’s the writing that sucks.
It’s not the speaker who sucks; it’s the delivery that sucks.
Therefore, it’s not about you. It’s about the work.
So, plain and simple: you need to find out what sucks.
Take it as free advice to help you improve. Sure, it’s harder to ask people to point out the negatives. But this is the only way you’re going to get better.
HOW TO FIND OUT WHAT SUCKS
1. Pick the right person. Not everyone possesses the candor to tell you what sucks, i.e., family members. Be careful who you select.
2. Set ground rules first. Tell your friend, colleague, etc., that you’re looking to improve in certain areas. Ask that they be completely honest and direct with you. Promise there are no hard feelings and that nobody gets defensive.
3. Take it slow, take it small. If you saturate yourself with too many "suck points" all at once, eventually it will start to wear on you. So, agree to accept feedback in small doses.

"You are the harbinger of your own success" is a mantra that's used by successful people in all walks of life. Every success story you've ever read follows the format of a person who described their dream, tried to work out what was needed to achieve it, and then set out to do it, by dint of ha

Ultimately, I think Jerry Seinfeld said it best, “There are only two types of feedback in life: “That’s great!” and “That sucks!”
If you want to make a name for yourself, you better ask for both.
(Oh, and if you think there's something I've done that sucks, super! Email me. Thanks in advance.)
