THE college admissions system is broken. When students submit applications, colleges learn a great deal about their competence from grades and test scores, but remain in the dark about their creativity and character. Essays, recommendation letters and alumni interviews provide incomplete information about students' values, social and emotional skills, and capacities for developing and discovering new ideas.
This leaves many colleges favoring achievement robots who excel at the memorization of rote knowledge, and overlooking talented C students. Those with less than perfect grades might go on to dream up blockbuster films like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg or become entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Barbara Corcoran and Richard Branson.
Employers at big corporations don't care if you dressed as Donald Duck in Disneyland for extra cash to pay off your tuition while going to college. You'd be better off saving that information for a fun conversation at your next company lunch meeting. However if you were the executive manager at a retail store, and are applying for a sales position, you can illustrate the people, organizational, and leadership skills that you acquired in your previous position.
You have decided. It's time. New adventures are ahead! But in order to head off into your new journey, you have to finish the one you're on! It can be scary. It can be nerve-wrecking. How will your boss react? How will your co-workers respond? What will your friends and family say? What will they think? Are you making a big mistake?! Stop right there. This isn't about your friends and family. This is about YOU! So if you've made that decision, and the time is now, don't worry about what anyone else thinks. You're the only one living your life and you don't need approval to change it!

Emergencies happen. Sure. You can't control the accidents on I-5 freeway, or the bus drivers showing up late. But you can definitely be prepared. Commute to the site of your interview before the day of your interview. See how long it takes to get there. On the day of your interview, give yourself enough time to be there early, even IF unexpected circumstances arise. With all that said, if you are still running late, CALL the interviewer! It's common courtesy. And there is almost a zero-percent chance of getting called back if you are late AND don't call to let them know.
Google, Apple, and Facebook are known for offering attractive perks, great pay, and excellent workplace cultures - so it's no surprise that they're also three of the world's most sought-after places to work right now.
