  3. The Worst Interview of My Life! Ever!

    Personally I don't think it was her business whether i was going to live with a boyfriend or with family. I don't think that should matter when it comes to getting a job. It's not her concern, in my opinion, who or where I live, as long as i make it ...

    It is so interesting that this post is on here. I am currently reading The Good Nurse by Charles Graeber which is about Charles Cullen and his serial killings. I highly recommend reading this book! I can't put it down.
