Don’t be afraid of failing interviews as every experience makes you stronger. Also, prepare early!
Why Every Professional Should Consider Blogging – For those wanting a little bit of encouragement (it helped me) to share their findings with your fellow peers of the interwebs, this is a good read. Talk Binary generates enough income to support itself and keep my hobby going.
