For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the days are getting shorter and energy levels are rock bottom by home time. If like me you’d rather be hibernating, take heart from the article on power naps and learn how to claw back energy from your working day.

A friend’s recent hiring distress prompted me to write an article for people new to interviewing. There are literally thousands of websites on how to get through an interview, but very few written from the interviewers perspective. Hiring employees is tough enough without having your own nerves to contend with, so use the interviewer interview questions to kick start your hiring process.

And all this from a short power nap!
