Tweeting in the Army?

Tweeting about the awful boss or the interview from hell may be therapeutic--but it doesn't look good to future employers.

Sure, it's true but job searches aren't about truth. Employers are looking for "relentlessly positive". (Guess they didn't see that movie about the Titanic. "There are no icebergs so we don't need lifeboats.")

Thinking about the military? The Army site doesn't say what they're looking for. An unofficial site reports you have to be 17-42 and within weight limits, among other requirements. Starting pay is about $17,611 annually with housing and food free if you're on base.

As always, there's inside info on doing it right. Here's 10 secrets to visiting an Army recruiter.
