Are you one of those people who say they never learned anything in high school?
Me neither.
I learned a lot in high school, but there were some critical topics that the teachers never mentioned.

Sometimes a bad job interview doesn’t mean you were a bad job interviewee.
This is a guest post by Will Kerr. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines.
When you’re preparing to launch yourself into the lion’s den of a job interview, you’ll usually be entirely focused on your own performance, from planning out your dress, to ensuring you’ll look your best, to perfecting your handshake.
