It’s March 18 — throw away the green beer (But not the Guinness. The Guinness can stay.) because today is … Awkward Moments Day!

There are few situations that feel less awkward than a job interview, but look at it this way, your awkward interview gaffe will be a funny story someday. Or maybe it will always be a painful memory. The point is, you’re going to land that job. <awkward high five>
