You are not alone if you are handling more work and stress than you expect workers in your position to handle. It is not the story of employees only in America, but all over the world. There’s nothing to be gained by pining over it, but the thing that we need to do is come to grips with the situation and develop habits to make the workloads bearable.

Interaction with an interviewer is always interesting for at the worst you are still left richer with the experience and a new connection if you can manage that. If you succeed, then you achieve what you went to the interview for - the job. Social interaction calls into play definitive skills and skill sets, which are sometimes more important than what’s on the resume.

I have had the most unusual series of interviews over the past few weeks. Yesterday I interviewed a woman who came in smelling like alcohol-to such an extent that my eyes were watering. I asked her about her record and she told me that she had a DUI but that it was ''all that was behind her now.'' She then wanted to make sure that this was not something that would ''prejudice me'' against hiring her. I must admit that since I was interviewing this woman for a job that involved a lot of driving it sure as hell did prejudice me.
