Interviewing for a new role can be nerve-racking, to say the least. It’s like going on a first date – trying to find a balance between saying the right things while simultaneously being yourself.

The idea of January can be so refreshing – a clean slate to pave the way toward a brighter future. People tend to think in a very “macro” way when referring to January, putting all of their eggs for the year into this small basket. Before you know it, it’s the 31st, you’ve promised yourself you’d kick it into gear the last 3 Monday’s and you ultimately wind-up feeling like you’ve already failed. That feeling will likely remain prevalent in February because, well, it’s February and the Spring is a better time to start anyway, right? We’re in a bad [...]
