It’s every professional’s nightmare: You’re working in a great job for a well-regarded employer, then the company — seemingly overnight — suffers a crisis and is bought out or goes belly-up. That’s the unpleasant situation facing many Bear Stearns employees, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her March 25 Ask Annie column. How safe is your job? Are you worried your company could suffer a Bear Stearns-like implosion, and if so, what are you doing to get ready? If you worked for a company that failed, how did you deal with it?

If the company you’re interviewing with won’t let you have in-depth discussions with your prospective boss, you don’t want to work there, says Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her December 18 Ask Annie column. After all, the No. 1 reason people quit their jobs is to flee a terrible boss, so it’s important to make sure you two get along. Did you meet your current boss before you started working for him or her? Were your first impressions correct? What should you watch out for when meeting a potential new boss?

With no visual cues for a hiring manager to rely on, you need to make the most of your voice, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her Oct. 23 Ask Annie column. Have you been interviewed for a job - or interviewed others - over the phone? Was the meeting tougher because it was held over the phone? How did it turn out?

Don’t bring mom to the job interview, warns Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her Oct. 11 Ask Annie column. One candidate forgot that basic precept, and wound up as No. 9 in a list of wackiest job-interview moves, which was based on a recent Accountemps poll of hiring managers. What’s the biggest mistake you ever saw someone make - or (gulp) maybe even made yourself - in a job interview?

It’s one of the most dreaded job-interview questions - especially since hiring managers have long since learned to see right through self-congratulatory confessions like, “I tend to work too hard” and “At times I’m almost too conscientious,” writes Anne Fisher, in her Nov. 14 Ask Annie column. What do you think is a good reply? And should interviewers even ask the question?
