RE: How to be the new employee
Good advice but not always relevant. I am one of those employees who asks lot of questions and can be a little over-eager. Its hard to know without asking if the solution you think might work has already been tried, some employers may even be asking for your input as a fresh pair of eyes always help. (Plus while you are keeping quiet you might be sitting on the solution just to keep your workmates happy.. try to remember you take jobs to earn a living not to make friends)
