Job seekers, beware. While you may be raring to ditch a demeaning employer, make sure you aren't trading one problem workplace for another.

You can spot red flags to avoid joining a dreary workplace by using these simple investigative techniques and observational skills.

Repeat yourself. While a lot of what you include in your thank-you note may feel repetitive, remember that a hiring manager who has interviewed a dozen candidates may not remember all the specifics about your skills and experience. Just like an advertising campaign for a consumer product, a certain amount of repetition is necessary to distinguish yourself from the competition.

In a competitive job market, just one wrong move during the application process can take you out of contention for the position you seek. Not sending a thank-you note after an employment interview is one of those wrong moves. In fact, no thank-you note may translate into "no, thank you" from an employer that was considering hiring you.
