25.  Work life balance means different things to different people.
 Men and Women view work-life balance differently.
 So, what does one do if they are feeling that time is slipping away and their
lives are grossly out of balance? The first order of business is to recognize
the problem and make a decision to do something about it. Only you have
the power to make a decision about how you want to live your life. You can
let life dictate how you spend it, or you can decide that you are going to
take charge of your life.

28. If you are or will soon be a job hunter, you have to remember that job interviews are
not all the same.
A group interview is just basically like the traditional job interview with a question
and answer portion, and some examinations. However, what adds more tension in the
air is the fact that you have to go toe-to-toe with other job seekers, and force yourself
to stand out without disrespecting and interrupting your interviewer and co-
interviewees. You have to be both smooth and confident here.
Group job interviews can be terrifying. However, it’s not as bad as it may seem. It can
even give you the edge that you need more than a traditional job interview can.
