Born To Write
Tweet Often times, interviewers will ask me what my ideal job is. Naturally, the smart thing to do is provide an answer related to the job you’re interviewing for, but I never said I was that smart. That’s because my ideal job isn’t something I can interview for, but something I have to achieve. In
