We own the rights to the content sitting on our site. Which means, we can post the URL anywhere we want and share it/reuse it on career-intelligence.com as we see fit. We also ask that contributors not re-use the content in its entirety on other sites, as it is considered duplicate content by the search engines and will negatively impact our SEO.
