Interviewing for a new job can be stressful. From researching the company to pulling together a list of intelligent questions, prepping is just as demanding as the one-on-one interview itself.

As you think about the interview, it's important to remember that the questions you ask them are just as meaningful as the ones they ask you. As you pull together your list of questions, keep in mind that some things are better left unasked.

Will I have to work overtime?
The fact you are even asking about overtime will make it appear that you're not interested in working any extra hours-even if you are. A better approach is to ask what a typical workday entails. You'll get a good idea of workload and daily hours without seeming inflexible.

Is it possible to telecommute?
If there has been no mention of telecommuting in the job description or in previous conversations, this question will feel like it's coming out of leftfield. Plus, if you're already asking for big

It's that time of year-when you get to gussy up and celebrate the season at your company holiday party. But, as much as you may want to dress to the nines, always remember an office party is more like a day at work than a night out with friends. You'll be sure to stay on your boss' good side this year by following these five tips.


1. Don't Show Too Much Skin
Holiday parties are often superfun shindigs, especially if you love your co-workers, but as much as you want to celebrate in a killer outfit, never forget you're at a work event and be sure to dress accordingly. If a skirt would be considered too short or a top considered too low-cut for the office, it's too revealing for your office party as well.

2. Do Wear Appropriate Undergarments
Visible bra straps and panty lines are fashion mistakes in general, but they're especially bad at an office party. If your dress requires a strapless bra, get one. If you're not

Could you pull off red hair?

The perfect hair color highlights your skin tone and makes your eyes stand out. But, which color is right for you: bright blonde, bold brunette, or radiant red? Here we reveal a few tips to help you discover which hair color suits you best.

You'd be a Perfect Brunette if…

• You prefer a super low maintenance morning routine each day. Unlike most other colors, it's pretty easy to keep brown hair shiny. Plus, at-home coloring kits work best for brunettes so monthly coloring bills won't break the bank.
• You're hair is naturally limp or heavily damaged. Brown hides bad hair breakage and reflects light best.
• You have a yellow-based complexion. If you go too yellow or light, you'll look sallow. Try a deep chestnut along with a couple cinnamon highlights around your face to help neutralize the yellow undertones.

You'd be a Perfect Blonde if…

• You were born with blonde or dark blonde hair, regardless of your color today. If your hair was blonde as a child then

Whether you're hosting a holiday dinner or bringing dessert to a celebration, there's no need to slave in the kitchen when you can whip up and present any of the following four no-cook desserts.

Triple Chocolate Trifle
This decadent dessert is a real crowd pleaser and can easily be modified with other bakery items, ice cream and syrup flavors for those who don't like chocolate. In a tall glass or classic soda glass, put a large piece of bakery-bought brownie followed by a handful of sliced strawberries, a scoop of chocolate ice cream, a dollop of store-bought vanilla pudding, a small handful of toasted peanuts or almonds, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a final dollop of whipped cream. Top with chocolate sprinkles or chopped toasted nuts and serve.
