It's not uncommon to feel that itch, that urge to move to a new job. Some people feel it every six months. If you're one of those, then these tips probably don't mean anything to you, but to those of you who have been working the same grind for the last two years and don't know what to do, read on.

• Look at every salary survey you can find. Subtract $10k from the "market rates" they suggest are normal, and figure on making that.
• In the interview, dress like you are going to a luau later. This shows that you have "personality" and will probably not be hired, but it makes you feel better about sitting in a room full of black suite and tie types and takes the edge off.
• Nobody likes a butt kisser. Tell them the flaws you see in their company and how you'll not only fix them, you won't tell anyone else they ever existed.
• When dealing with recruiters, show them who's boss. When they ask for a Word formatted resume, send them an ASCII copy.
• Always reject companies with lousy names. Think about the kinds of people who think those names up. Now think about working for them.
• Be smart, but admit you don't know everything. Yes, it's still possible to be "over qualified" for a position. No, we don't get it either.
• If it's too much of a pain to get the job, drop it like an unwanted baby. No one likes their job after a year anyway. Why go into it not liking it?
• If asked back after the first interview, start explaining your vices. Remember, they're people too, and this adds depth to your character and makes it harder to say no to you.
• Talk about all the responsibility you wanted in your last job, even if you don't want any now, but how they wouldn't give any to you. You sound more like a "self starter."
