News: It's Not an Interview, It's a Sales Pitch

One of the common mistakes I see a lot of candidates make when they go to an interview is that they think it is a question and answer session. They approach the interview with a mindset that their role is to be prepared to answer a bevy of questions thrown at them. This puts you in a passive role, playing defense.

In “context-oriented” societies there is far less reliance on such a literal approach. Much more importance is placed on the relationship between the two parties entering into an agree...

As you approach your opponent, flick the ball past them, and then as you pass the player dive upwards and then turn in the air slightly before landing. As you land look towards the ref with puppy dog eyes in order to secure the free kick. Dive while playing soccer.
