Greensboro, NC -- People ask Career Consultant Joyce Richman all the time, what are the biggest mistakes she sees when people are looking for a job.

She says a big one is confusing networking with commiserating.

When you talk to your job contacts, she says don't get into the awful stories about your work environment or complain about the economy... your conversation is going down like a rock

Instead, Richman says focus on what kind of job are you looking for, how excited you are to have this opportunity.  Just keep the conversation positive.
