Success in foreign markets demands that you understand differences between cultures, Fortune’s Anne Fisher writes in her July 9 column. Have you ever had to get over a cultural hurdle with a boss or coworker? How did you do it? In your experience, are cultural issues becoming more prevalent in the workplace even for managers and employees who never leave the U.S.?

Many cubicle dwellers are finding new life in skilled trades, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her June 19 Ask Annie column.

The number of “discouraged workers” — those who have not actively looked for work in the past four weeks, primarily because they believe no jobs are available for them — shot up 70% between the first quarter of 2008 and 2009, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her June 4 Ask Annie column.

Have you or a loved one endured a long, discouraging job hunt? What have you found to keep your spirits up and help you stay motivated? If you’ve gotten hired after a long search, what do you think was most helpful in landing your new job?

As if looking for work weren’t tough enough in this economy, here’s one more thing to keep in mind: Every three seconds, someone’s identity is stolen, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her May 18 Ask Annie column. And ID thieves often prey on job hunters, she writes.

Have you ever applied for a job that turned out to be a scam? Has anyone ever attempted to use information you revealed in a job search to steal your identity? Ever run across any “recruiting” tactics that seemed fishy? What’s the best way to avoid being scammed?

“Employees are often genuinely shocked when a casual e-mail comes back to haunt them, especially as evidence in a lawsuit,” says Andrea Bernard, a partner in employment law and litigation at Warner Norcross & Judd in Grand Rapids, Mich. To avoid problems, it’s helpful for companies to have a written e-mail policy, writes Anne Fisher in her May 8 Ask Annie column. Does your company have a formal, written e-mail policy? How detailed is it? Do you follow it or ignore it? Do you ever see inappropriate e-mails come by your desk?

Nobody knows what to expect, but companies and employees are taking some common-sense precautions against swine-flu, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her May 1 Ask Annie column.

What do you say? Is your employer taking any steps to protect its workers? What are you doing on your own to stay healthy? Tell us what you think.

Not all members of any generation are alike, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her April 28 Ask Annie column. Still, “there are broad trends and patterns of behavior that can be useful in understanding what makes someone in a given age group tick,” says Bruce Tulgan, a consultant who’s made a career out of counseling companies on how to attract, motivate, and keep young employees.

Gen Yers, what do you like or dislike about the way your boss deals with you? What motivates you (or doesn’t) to do your best work?

Most senior managers have to job hunt 10.1 months these days, a recent survey finds. So if you’ve been unemployed half a year, it can seem like an eternity when you’re on pins and needles, but chin up, advises Anne Fisher in her April 13 Ask Annie column. Have you been out of work for six months or longer? What are you doing to cope? How long can someone be unemployed in this market without it being seen as a black mark against their candidacy? Can changing resume styles really help cover an employment gap?

A White House report called “The Job Impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan” (a.k.a. the stimulus package) forecasts 50,000 new IT jobs by the end of 2010, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her March 27 Ask Annie column. That’s thanks in large part to incentives to digitize health records, she writes.

How do you think the tech job market is doing now? Is the economic stimulus plan likely to create – or preserve – jobs in your field?

Entire industries are shrinking fast, putting larger numbers of qualified candidates in competition for fewer openings.  So it’s not surprising that legions of the laid-off are thinking creatively about where to go next. Just one small problem: Most people are really bad at explaining why an employer should hire them when they have no experience in the field they’re trying to enter, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her March 19 column.

Readers, what do you say? Are you trying to change careers and, if so, have you managed to get to the interview stage? What has – or hasn’t – worked for you?

If networking drives you nuts and you tend to think a while before you respond to interviewers’ questions, you may find a job search especially difficult, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her Feb. 12 Ask Annie column. But introverts have certain advantages, too — like a tendency to think before you speak — that you can use to improve your odds, she writes. Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert? Do you agree that job hunting is easier for extroverts? If you’re introverted, have you got any tips on what worked for you in your last job hunt? Would you rather work for an introvert or an extrovert?

If you’ve just left your boss’s office with the dire news that your position is being eliminated, stay as calm as possible, at least outwardly, advises Anne Fisher in her January 27 Ask Annie column. Doing so could help you negotiate a bigger severance package, she writes.

If you’ve been laid off, what kind of severance did you get? Did you feel it was fair? Did you try to negotiate the terms? What did you want, and did you get it? Any suggestions for others who want to pursue a better deal in a layoff?

When stepping into a new, challenging leadership position, spend your first 30 days listening, and studying the company and the challenges it faces, says Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her Jan. 20 Ask Annie column.

How can you keep both employees and higher-ups happy?

Scott Adams, creator of the comic-strip Dilbert, spent so many years in corporate middle management that his characters and story lines resonate with just about anyone who works for a big company, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her Dec. 12 Ask Annie column.

The average employee now changes jobs 7 to 10 times in a career, with at least two or three of those moves being jumps to a completely different kind of business, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her Oct. 21 Ask Annie column. Have you ever made the leap to a job in a different industry where you had no previous experience? Any tips on how to do it right (or how not to)?

Have tensions and tantrums increased at your shop lately? How do you cope with a short-tempered coworker (or boss)?

It’s important to get the right “fit” when picking an MBA program, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her May 27 Ask Annie column. Have you thought about going back to school for an MBA or other degree? What would influence your decision most in choosing a graduate program, or – if you’ve already taken the plunge – how did you pick your school? If you’ve already graduated, was getting your MBA worthwhile?

How can you make a great impression, when hundreds of other candidates are at the same event? It helps to put in a bit of extra thought beforehand, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her Oct. 10 Ask Annie column. Have you ever gotten a job offer after meeting a corporate recruiter at a job fair?
