Foxtrot At The Bund, Shanghai - The Ministry Of Youth Affairs And Sports

It was a regular day at Moody’s, just like any other day that went by crunching numbers.  It was late and I was engrossed with my work, with little shares of a laugh in between.

Ted Talks To Watch Before Your Interview To Sound Smart And Be Confident

 Sources say that Thomas Alva Edison was the first to use ‘interview’ as a selection tool. Since then there has been no looking back for ‘Interviews’. Starting from kindergarten to jobs, one has to almost always face an interview before becoming the chosen one. There is a lot of helpful and friendly advice available on conducting oneself during interviews. One might wonder, what else I could say that has not been said already.
