This week (9/28 to 10/4) on Work Matters we're talking about making more money and making your job the right one.

Do you think that it's impossible to make the right money and achieve the right fit in your job? To find out how to get both, join me as we visit with our guests this week.

Our first expert is Jack Chapman, author of Negotiating Your Salary: How to Make $1000 a Minute. Then I interview Stuart Friedman, author of Break Free from Job Jail and we discuss how to be in the right job.

This week (9/21 to 9/27) on Work Matters we look at an alternative to traditional career counseling.

Career intuitive and author of I See Your Dream Job, Sue Frederick discusses that and more with me.

Then, in our regular show segment, Uncommon Sense, my colleague Beth Pelkofsky joins me to field listener questions.
