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.

Team-Building Activities for Modern Australian Companies
A work-performance study on Australian workers has shown that there are many factors affecting employee engagement, including working conditions, annual wage, and job security. However, there is one more important factor to consider and that is how the employees function as a part of a team. You see, even when the individuals have immense potential and talent, if they are not able to join their strengths with the common goal of making a business more successful, their projects are bound to fail. It is up to the managers to prevent that from happening by building well-connected and well-functioning teams. Fortunately, there are some great team-building activities that can help you with that.

Following Your Dreams vs. Following Money
When you were a kid, everyone told you to follow your dreams. To do what you were passionate about. Sometimes what were passionate about doesn't necessarily pay the bills. For a lot of people, this is a reality we all face. Now, I'm a millennial (yes, I know), and growing up we were always told we could have it all, just because we wanted it. I discovered growing up that you can't have it just because you want it. So were thrown into adult-hood or "adulting" as we call it, with no experience and no actual education about the world and how it works. There's certainly no financial classes that are mandatory in school (which there should be) so a lot of us are lost when it comes to money. All of my friends in college are so stressed about money. It's an uncomfortable subject. A lot of us end up working for money for the rest of our lives, throwing away what we truly are passionate about because the reality for a lot of people is; passion doesn't pay bills. So what a lot of us do it end up in boring jobs that we aren't passionate about but pay well. Can you have it all?

You CAN Do It!
At one point in my life I started to feel that I wasn’t good enough to achieve what I wanted. I want to tell you, that the thought was WRONG! If you have thoughts like that sometimes, don’t let them bully you into thinking you are not worth anything.

6 Tips Every Student Should Learn to Save Money at University
According to savethestudent.org, an estimated 84% of the UK’s student’s worry about money troubles and making ends meet throughout the year. Next to rent, food is the highest cost a student has to factor into their budget during term time, leaving some students unable to afford food at all, because their rent has swallowed up nearly all of their loan. With 61% of student’s claiming their diet is suffering and a whopping 50% of those student’s saying its affecting their mental health, leading to a drop in grades, I think it’s high time we did something about it!

Young Bookworms
I was brought up in a family where education was a very important thing. Although, I didn't really encompass that way of thinking as a child and all the way through to my teen years, becoming a Mother made me realise the truth behind what my Mother would say to me.

Things I Wish I Knew About Myself Before University
When I joined the throng of fresher's students in the marquee tent, I could feel dread gnawing at my stomach. There were so many people — it was hard to know where to sit.

My Personal Philosophy of Education
My personal philosophy of education is comprised of essential ideals that I believe an effective teacher should possess. Every single child on this earth is different, so how can I assume that a simple lecture is enough for my students? John Dewey professed about teaching to the whole child; that is just one little piece that I think makes an effective teacher. By this I mean that my role as a teacher is to adjust to the individual child and teach to their learning style and their needs. To assist in doing this, the constructivist approach and direct instruction will be actively involved in my classroom. The role of administration and the students’ parents is to be the support system of the students; without an adequate support system, the child will struggle more in classes.
