Interviews with successful executives and top corporate culture influencers.

Interview with We Sway's Founder, Danny Tirmizi. Top Story - April 2018.
Have you ever wondered how brands were able to get major pop icons and local celebrities to tout their products? In the past, it actually used to be very difficult. Entire agencies would need to be employed in order to get the right person with the right business. Now that people are increasingly interested in keeping up with social media influencers, one group has created an app that promises to change the way businesses do social media.

Questions to Ask in an Interview That Might Just Get You the Job
Everyone knows interviews to be question-and-answer routines. You know what questions HR will ask you in an interview. You know what questions are illegal to ask, and questions that suggest a job is a scam. But, do you ever ask questions of the manager? You might not.

Hannah vs. Unemployment
Admittedly, I have been extremely fortunate not to have experienced long periods of unemployment. Having said that, the experience I do have allows me to empathise somewhat with those of you that have. There are very, very few things in this life more demoralising or soul-destroying than being on the hunt for a job. You’ve more hoops to jump through than… than… than someone with lots of hoops to jump through. It seriously can be a bottomless pit of irritation and disappointment. Life quickly turns in to a hideously bleak cycle of weekly CV sprucing, lengthy application questions, the trolling of every job site imaginable, setting up endless job alert emails (ironically mostly alerting you to jobs you don’t really want), being over-qualified, being under-qualified, being too inexperienced, sweaty interview handshakes, sweaty interview rooms, general sweaty-ness, and of course, after enduring all that, let's not forget that delightful, bitter sting of rejection.

Interview Time
So the good news is you have landed the big interview. Kudos to you. Seriously, give yourself a pat on the back or a round of applause, because this is a big first step. Even more so if it is at a company or job you are stoked to work for. Now you have prepared your resume (hopefully), practiced common interview questions, and checked out the company's website. You have literally done all the homework you could and then some. There is nothing left for you to do but nail the interview. You got this. You are ready to shine.

Group Interview: 5 Tips to Survive and Flourish
We’ve all had that wonderful feeling of being invited to an interview, it’s confirmation that your application was top quality and the company wants to meet you. Continue reading further down the email or listening to the voicemail and your heart may drop, like mine did, when I read the words, ‘group interview and presentation.’ Since leaving school, I’ve always been someone confident in their ability and rarely shy, however, the idea of fighting for a job (metaphorically) with my fellow candidates sat next to me or worse, watching me, was something incredibly intimidating. I did however get the job that I was interviewed for and became close friends with my two fellow candidates (something I wasn’t expecting when I arrived for the assessment). It’s both tricky and terrifying, but here’s how you can survive and, perhaps even thrive in the group interview environment.

Signs You're Interviewing for a Fake Job Opportunity
As a writer and a workaholic, I have a lot of beef with the people and organizations that offer fake job opportunities. The working world is filled with them — and many of them take advantage of people who are disenfranchised, new to the game, or just really in need of new work.

Interview Questions You Need to Stop Asking Job Candidates. Top Story - October 2017.
Job interviews can be stressful for all parties, and more often than you might think the interviewer, not the job candidate, derails the interview. This is usually done through poor, unrelated, or impossible to answer questions. The best interviews should turn into somewhat of a conversation, and this is never accomplished by an interviewer asking a trivial or dead-end question.

Simple First Job Interview Tips for College Grads
Having a great resume doesn't mean you'll get the job, especially if you tank the interview. No matter how great of a job you do filling out the application, no matter how much interest in the position you express, it's all for nothing if you show up and have the personality of a cadaver. Now, you don't have to be Richard Pryor, but it would go a long way toward landing the job if you came across as somebody other people would want to be around.

Interview with Gaurav Sharma, Author of 'Gone are the Days'
Gaurav Sharma is an author that constantly seeks to improve himself and his writing. If he is not sleeping or eating, he is writing something. In turn, we, his audience, see something beautifully raw in the work he produces. His disposition might best be described as reserved, blunt, and meditative; this trifecta of traits has proved essential on both his literal and figurative life journeys, from New Delhi to Vancouver, from child to adulthood, from writing to card-carrying writer.
