Many people decide to change career at some point in their lives. Often it can be a decision that has been forced upon them through redundancy, or after suffering from a severe injury that prevents them from continuing in the same line of work. But sometimes a change of career can be a personal choice when you finally decide to follow your dreams and do a job that you love instead of one that you may well have simply fallen into out of convenience or family expectations.
No matter how well we plan out our days, sometimes the forces of nature can be against us. While it is sensible to be well prepared for your job interview, knowing what to do if you are running late is also just as essential to prevent it from ruining your chances of landing your dream job.

You have done everything right so far. You have taken the time to craft a perfect resume and cover letter for your job application. You landed an interview and had prepared yourself thoroughly.

Getting your resume layout to look well-aligned and perfectly balanced is a big task in itself, but no matter how carefully you lay out your resume, and what valuable content you include, the employer will only take the time to read it if you make it as easy on the eye as possible.
We spend many hours of our life at work, so it is no wonder that your working environment can have an impact on your emotional well-being.
