			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may well , in your past life , attended an interview and felt that the interviewer was more nervous ( and even more foolish than you being at the interview , or even not to smart for working for the particular firm or boss in the first place).</p>
<p>What to do ?  The first answer is to be polite and perhaps even deferential.  After all the person may have a better reason for being there &#8211; that is often than a case of &#8220;management on the brain&#8221; or hero worship. Perhaps they are supporting their sick mother or dog , and they need the money to support the family or these &#8220;causes&#8221;.</p>
<p>All in all , its best to be quiet . Polite   Get the interview over quickly. Leave.  Never think about such foolish and stupid things again.</p>
<p>Always remember the parable of &#8220;Chicken little&#8221;</p>

If you are sitting down and the interviewer cannot see your feet, try wrapping them around the chair legs and squeezing tight. This will help you feel steady and calm during the interview. &#8230;</p>

A few nerves isn’t a bad thing, they make you strive more for the position you are being &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you&#8217;re in a job that makes you unhappy, it can be easy to start thinking about making a move elsewhere. Maybe the work&#8217;s not as fun any more, or you&#8217;re not advancing when you should be. While there are plenty of good reasons to leave, there&#8217;s one that shouldn&#8217;t enter your mind: Not liking the people you work with, even if it&#8217;s your boss.<br />
It doesn&#8217;t seem like something you&#8217;re likely to be able to get past. You deal with them every day. But don&#8217;t think that you can go to a new job that will be jerk-free.<br />
The jerks of the world follow you around. Remember how there were people in school you didn&#8217;t like? And then in college there were people just like them? And then your first job, you get a new set of people, most of whom you like, but some are jerks, too? They are everywhere. What&#8217;s more, they move around. You can be in a perfectly swell department, with a great boss and great co-workers, and out of the middle of nowhere &#8211; some horrible racist comment or worse! In comes some socially stunted goober that screws it all up. Or who can&#8217;t code his way out of a paper sack. Or maybe your boss decides to take off and gets replaced by some micromanager who calls you Imagine working at a worse place. Yes it can get worse. Imagine you are working as a slave at Bosh Auto. Never get paid. Labor board sides against you. Or you have 27 years at Chrysler &#8211; a union guy &#8211; you come off of disability, 1 year to go for pension.<span> </span>Company screws you.Union screws you &#8211; tells you to shove off, Lawyer screws you &#8211; instead of the 60 % he bargains down to 40 %. You have to sell you house and van. Bank will not give you a loan as the mortgage, taxes and hydro take all. Wally &#8221; everyone f&#8230;. me “!!It&#8217;s not that so much that Michael Scott is a terrible boss, but that he&#8217;s allowed to keep his job in the face of his egregious shortcomings. Michael has problems, but the company doesn&#8217;t care, or doesn&#8217;t seem to care. You take pride in your work, but why doesn&#8217;t the company show the same pride?
<the distinction between the bad co-workers and the company that allows them to work is an important one. The bad co-worker or bad boss may go away over time, but the company is a larger problem that may be well entrenched. Before you make for the door, make sure you know what the problem actually is. If it's just a person or two that rub you wrong, you're probably better off to live with it for a while until things change.<br />
