3 Things NOT To Do To P*** Off Your Interviewer

We’ve all given interviews at some point in our lives, haven’t we? We’ve spent a considerable amount of time fretting about it, doing internet search about the company who’s looking forward to meeting us, sometimes exchanging a dozen or so emails with the recruiter to figure out what we should expect at the interview, and sometimes we even ask our friends to help us out with the answers to some of the regular questions.  Don't ever get someone else to write your resume - as lousy as you think you may be at writing a resume, you may have slept in your communication class and missed the whole lecture on an effective resume for a great job, DO NOT have someone else write it.

I've written words, they remain, long after the person is gone, words are more permanent in history.  What about me threatens you? Why can you not look me in the eye and talk. I never wanted to hurt you. Your happiness was most important to me. You've come to hold my hand at a time when I least expected it. I didn't w...

But here are a few things you can do while you're quarantined that'll help you get through all this extra time you may have found on your hands: Read a book - yes now's the time to pick up that book you've been thinking of reading since forever. just open it and start reading, there's no better time than now to do it.

But then that's just me being me, pick your own pace, the important thing is for you to pick up a book and read! Clean up and organize - with a wardrobe like mine (automatic I lik...
