How do you intervew without being terrified? I work at a HF and it seems like the the industry is so small. Everyone knows everyone and they all live in 1 of 4 towns. It seems like every time I respond to a recruiter, I’m taking the largest risk.

I just always try to think about the potential questions that they'll ask me and practice my responses a few times to feel comfortable. When I go into any interview I want to be feeling confident in what I'm going to say and not let anything catch me off guard.

Hmm I get what you are saying but it really depends on how badly I want a new role. If I am desparate to leave then I kind of stop caring because at that point I just want a new role.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
