Just like it says on the tin, songs you can listen to with the windows wide open and cranked to 11. Or, if you’re in the desert like I am, with the windows up and the air conditioning at full blast. Cars (paid link) by Gary Numan Cruisin‘ (paid link) by Smokey Robinson Drive (paid…
I’m not a devout follower of New Age thinking. I’m a cradle Catholic but I have a hard time believing that God doesn’t give us the tools to explore other ways of thinking.

One thing that always tripped me up was the simplest of questions: “Do you have any questions for me?” Hiring Manager Oftentimes, they do cover the questions I have going into the interview. But, it’s always nice to have other options to fall back on when…
