This is what you want to know about Biden's economic team Image source: Getty Images Joe Biden yesterday hosted an event in Wilmington, Delaware to introduce the key players of his economic team.    "This is a family-oriented team," he said. "This team will always be there for you and your families."   As each nominee spoke about their background, the motif that threaded all the speeches together was how economic difficulties during their formative years shaped them and continue to shape them.    "I am here today thanks to my mother's grit, but also thanks to the country that had faith in us, that invested in her humanity and in our dreams," said Neera Tanden, who Biden nominated to run the Office of Management and Budget. "I'm here today because of social programs, because of budgetary choices, because of a government that saw my mother's dignity and gave her a chance."   What else was said during the event yesterday?

If you've been landing interviews, but haven't quite sealed the deal on a new job yet, you could be making one of five major interview mistakes that is costing you the chance at your dream job.    Blaming your current or previous employer for anything is one of the worst mistakes you can make in an interview and is a huge red flag for hiring managers. Even if you are in a difficult situation, it's never professional to blame an employer for why you're leaving or to speak badly of an employer for any reason.    Another mistake you might be making is failing to ask insightful and engaging questions. Employers want to know you're not only interested in the job, but you're passionate about it and the company as a whole.
