I’m guilty about the part right outta college. Right after graduation, I got a decent job lined up and thought I was the sh*t. It was my HR director that put me in my place and humbled me, for which I am grateful. And it does seem like a pattern of whenever I interview applicants, most of them have this expectation of having a cush and easy workload, but when I tell them of a typical day, they look like a deer in headlights.
