It’s usually difficult to fully grasp the changes that have occurred to the automobile from our modern perspective, but recently I attended an incredible event that unknowingly provided a detailed look into the history of the passenger car: the inaugural Atlanta Concours d’Elegance 2016.
Interviews are perhaps one of the most daunting and dreaded things that a person must undergo, especially if you are a fresh graduate who is out in the market looking for the first job.
