Have a game plan for adding a side hustle to your workload
Assign a specific time each day to work on a side project, even if it's just half an hour, to help manage it while working a full-time job, Simon Slade writes. Don't be afraid to turn down additional work that you can't take on, and try to find opportunities in your full-time job that overlap into your personal venture.

Making the Connection
What you shouldn't share with your co-workers
Don't share "unconstructive criticism" with colleagues, keep feedback useful and honest and stop yourself before partaking in office gossip, career coach Heather Huhman says. Try not to vent to co-workers about a manager you're struggling with and never share sensitive information about a client, career expert Jill Jacinto recommends.

Your Next Challenge
Explaining a resume gap to prospective employers
If you have a gap in your resume due to personal circumstances, be honest but brief to explain why, Vicki Salemi writes. If you were let go by a previous employer because of cutbacks, highlight your performance strengths and ensure that you have references who will vouch for you.

The man was one of 20,000 people at the pop concert, all of whom had to pass through security checkpoints with the cameras.

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view -- until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
