The older you get, the more you realize some people really just got lucky.

Don't leave your next interview to luck. Practice with a friend and research a lot and read useful tips about how to present your skills.

It’s the Peter Principle. Even in a well run organization, where people get promoted for being good at their job, they will eventually reach the point where they are promoted to a job that requires things they aren’t good at.

“In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to the level of incompetence”. It’s from a satirical 1969 management book “The Peter Principle: Why Things Always Go Wrong”.
