McDaniel pointed out several potential benefits for new mothers who blog, including giving moms both a way to connect with family and friends who do not live nearby and an outlet to use and show their hobbies and accomplishments, particularly for stay-at-home moms.

Because this is one of the first studies to look at the effects of participation in online communities on new mothers, McDaniel noted that there is not enough information collected yet to determine how or why blogging and social networking have markedly different impacts on new moms. However, this study demonstrated that mothers who blogged frequently show stronger connections to their family and friends. That possibility is going to have some other profound influences on them, including their relationship with their husband, the ways that they're feeling about their parenting stress, and eventually into their levels of depression.

The smart job-seeker needs to rid themselves of several standard myths about interviewing before they start looking for a job. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview.

Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain a job offer.

·10·

Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means reject job offers you don't want! Unskilled job-seekers, however, become so used to accommodating employers' expectations that they often easily qualify for jobs they don't want. So before you hand in your resignation, be sure you want the new one.

Myth 2: Try to control the interview.

Nobody controls an interview, neither you nor the interviewer, although one or both parties often try. When somebody tries to control us, we hate it. When we try to control somebody, he makes us feel uncomfortable. Remember, you can't control what an employer thinks of you, just as he can't control what you think of him. So hang loose when interviewing, or you may give people the impression that you are not believable.

Myth 3: ______ ______

Another silly myth. If you don't disagree at times, you become, in effect ，a “yes’， woman. Don't be afraid to disagree with your interviewer in an agreeable way. And don't hesitate to change your mind. The worst that could happen would be that the interviewer says to himself, \open mind!” The conventional wisdom says \，，true enough.
