The talk show queen is scheduled to do a live video interview with Facebook on Thursday, September 8, almost exactly a year after Oprah brought Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on her show.
The discussion with Oprah will be streamed via Facebook Live and will kick off at 1:30PM PT. Facebook is inviting people to submit their questions for Oprah on a Facebook Page dedicated to the event.
Some of the queries submitted so far include, “Mrs. Winfrey, if you had one week to live what would you do with your week?” or “What drives you Oprah to stay connected with the people of the world?” One user also asked Oprah to ask Barbra Streisand a question on her behalf (“We know that you are friends with Barbra Streisand… Could you please thank Barbra Streisand for my husband and I? Because of Barbra, we met the love of our lives – each other!”).

LinkedIn offers a slew of helpful tools for landing a job, but making your profile stand out from the millions of others can sometimes seem like a daunting task. As of August 2011, the site boasted over 120 million users and more than 2 million companies worldwide.
If you want to be noticed (and hired!), one thing you should not do is describe yourself the same way everyone else does: In 2010, LinkedIn conducted a study that found the 10 most overused words on users’ profile are “extensive experience,” “innovative,” “motivated,” “results-oriented,” “dynamic,” “proven track record,” “team player,” “fast-paced,” “problem solver,” “entrepreneurial.”
