WHAT�S NEW @ MCMCSE:
Here is what we�ve been up to:

We have posted a new free study guide for the Network Infrastructure exam(70-216) that can be found at http://www.mcmcse.com/win2k/guides/2000networkguide.shtml. It is in a sort of beta state at the moment, which means that only those of you receiving this newsletter currently know about it. The final version will be released within a week. This set of study notes completes all of the learning modules for the 70-240 upgrade exam and we will be putting a link together for this exam as well.

Posted an interesting tip on Internet Explorer hidden cache files at our sister site, TechTutorials.com. The tutorial can be found at http://www.techtutorials.com/tutorials/iecache.shtml.

WHAT IS BEHAVIORAL INTERVIEWING?
Behavioral interviewing is a technique that asks candidates questions that draw upon past experiences and actions as opposed to questions that attempt to illicit a response to a theoretical situation or questions that simply ask the candidate how they view themselves. The idea behind this style of interviewing is to find out how a person HAS reacted in particular situations instead of hearing how they view themselves.

YOUR JOB HUNT AND TAXES:
No we are not tax specialists, so please don't send us tax questions unless you want to wind up in trouble with the government. However, we did stumble across this very interesting tax tip that many of you will find helpful. NOTE: This tip applies for our members located in the U.S. If you are one of our international members, you should check with your local tax bureau.

It is a little known fact that expenses from your job hunt are tax deductible. Eligible expenses include travel expenses, long-distance telephone calls, employment agency fees, job-wanted classifieds, resume preparation, and the cost of printing and mailing resumes. If you are relocating and fly to another state or country for interviews, your travel expenses are tax deductible as long as you can prove that the purpose of the trip was for obtaining employment.

There are some conditions that must be met, however. You must be seeking employment in the same field that you are currently employed in which means that if you are switching to the IT field from another field or getting your first job, this will not apply to you.

You should always check with your tax preparer or the IRS to find out specifically what you can legally deduct.
