They have been doing a lot of hiring lately, and almost all of the new middlemanagement personnel have been interviewed by one or the other of Annie39。s two bosses have started asking her for her impressions of job candidates.

Neither is getting called back for the next round of interviews.　　No one knows how mon this is, but if you are job hunting, it39。s not unusual these days for a hiring manager to ask everyone who meets a potential new hire to give an opinion of him or her.

Always ask the interviewer if you need help from anyone else in the office where you39。d like to leave an extra copy of your resume, refrain from sending the interviewer39。s fine to accept if you39。t ask for particular brand names or expect to be brewed a fresh pot of coffee, Stevens says. And of course, need we add that dispatching anybody to Starbucks is out of the question?　　?Feel free to make small talk, but know that anything you say may well get back to the interviewer.

The manager of a department makes all the difference. Coffman said when an employee quits, 70 percent of the time she39。s leaving because of the manager.　　One cautionary note: your job may not be as wonderful for you as you think if you answer a majority of the 12 questions affirmatively but the few questions that you can39。s because the first six questions make up the base on which job satisfaction rests, according to Buckingham and Coffman. If your current job doesn39。re not able to use your gifts every day, you39。t a oneway street with a department either meeting your needs or not. In order to answer the 12 questions honestly, you need to know what it is that makes you tick and not blindly blame your department for any job dissatisfaction.　　Do you know what it is you like to do and what you do best?

From the moment we enter 47 as small children, and as we progress through primary and secondary education, we are laying the foundation for the life ahead of us. We must 48 ourselves to work hard so that we can pass exams and gain the qualifications we will need to 49 a good job. We must also acquire 50 life skills so that we can fit in and work with those around us. And of course health education helps us to understand how we can stay 51 and healthy.　　For most people, this process ends when they are in their midtolate teens. For others, however, it is the beginning of a(n) 52 of learning.
