How is job hunting like dating? There are plenty of ways. For example, EHarmony( an online dating service) says initially sharing too much information with your date could scare her off. You tell your date that“ My last relationship was a disaster” and of course she is going to wonder what you had to do with that. The same is true with job interviews. Tell a hiring manager“ My last job was a disaster” and she is going to wonder what you had to do with that. Rather, focus on your positive attributes and that of the company you are interviewing with and you will come out much further ahead! Here are 5 more ways dating is like searching for new work.

5 dating tips from TopDatingTips. com:

1. Choose those you have a good chance of dating. Be realistic.
