[…] What REALLY happens during the job application process? HR managers tell-all – Let’s face it – applying for jobs can be worse than dating.

Was it that story I told about my dog peeing on my last boss’ foot that scared them away?” Check out this article to learn more about what really happens during the application process – and how you can stand out from the crowd.
