Stress is a part of our everyday lives, but not all stress is bad. While many people believe stress is always negative, the fact is, we need stress in our lives.

Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

It’s critical to avoid the financial burden of making a wrong hire. Two approaches to conducting interviews — structured and conversational — can yield different insights about a candidate.
