Recently I noticed the following blog entry from About.com indicating some concerning statistics indicating that employers are using social networking sites to screen potential employees:

More on: finding sales opportunities! Where are the growth areas or the best areas to buy for a young pharmacist?

Proving that the price and numbers given about a pharmacy are true and correct (i.e. financial due diligence). What to ask for to validate what you have been told by the broker when you think he is painting a "rosy" picture?
