webmaster In a Forbes article, How To Ace The 50 Most Common Interview Questions, you can see for yourself how interview questions are almost set in a template. They are repeated to death and most probably with little variation.
In fact, I bet most of us can expect what type of questions we would probably receive before stepping into the interview room.
But that’s the problem.
Without wasting a second of your time, let’s dive in.
1) Take a Step Back
When feelings overwhelm you and you feel that you just can’t take it anymore and want to throw in the towel, don’t give in.
Give yourself some breathing room.
Tell yourself, “You know what, I don’t need this right now. I am going to just take a step back. I am going to give myself a break I deserve so that I can deal with this with a cool head when I feel calm and collected.”
At the workplace, emotions can run high and out of control especially in stressful situations, project crunchtimes, or experiencing tension with colleagues.

Here are five surprising but real reasons that show us how it really isn’t that easy to quit jobs we hate. And sometimes, it’s not all about the money. But the good news is that we can also overcome them and move on for the better.
As the world accelerates with the relentless advancements in technology, all spheres of how we live our lives have been impacted. Inevitably, this includes the way we work.
Distancing ourselves further away from the days where paperwork is literally done with paper and manually, the introduction of computers, gadgets, software and automated processes has transformed how we work.
Engaging the silver workforce has more to benefit than most companies would think. It’s unfortunate that most companies continue to hold negative stereotypes about older workers when the experience and knowledge they have acquired over the years are priceless.
Many choose to deny the fact that career transitions are part and parcel of our working lives, but staying put at a job for as long as possible does not necessarily mean it’s the best case scenario. It may make a person appear loyal and dedicated to a corporation, but there could be unspoken and unseen concerns bubbling below the surface. And when these concerns reach the breaking point, it causes you to reevaluate your career choices.
