Happy Thanksgiving my Q&Q friends! I'm off this week getting a little rounder (I love pumpkin pie almost as much as I love my wife), so no new question answered. But for those itching for some knowledge—or even just a refresher—I offer up a challege:
Go to the search box about halfway down the left-hand column and type in "Query." You should find a number of Q&Qs related to queries and the querying process. Then take my quiz below to make sure you "absorbed" as much information as I did pumpkin pie.
Brian's Q&Q Three-Question Quiz:1. The title of my ficticious memoir
is
The Brian A. Klems Diaries: (fill in the blank)?
2. Cold calling for an interview isn't too different from
what?
3. According to one of my posts, there are three ways queriers often mispell my name. Two will immediately warrant rejection while the other may not.
What "misspelling" may not?
Feel free to post your
guesses thoroughly-researched answers in my comments section. Or have some fun and post what you
think I may have posted. I'll give away one copy of the new
Yearbook 2009 to one person who gets all the answers correct (selected at random) and one to the person with the most creative responses (voted on by me).
Have a great holiday week. Hold down the fort while I'm out.
