 “Last week, my boss hired a “trainee” straight out of college to work in our department. She is young and it really showed in how she behaved. The problem is, this new “co-worker” of mine started acting like a prima donna. She has become manipulative and dominant. Some of my colleagues are complaining behind her back. It was becoming a nightmare for me just being near her. It has even made me think of quitting.”
 When you get to the interview, be prepared to discuss your resume. In addition to
explaining why you left previous companies and chit chat about the position, if you have any gaps in employment be prepared to explain them. |
