Passage2
Don't try and be happy — it will only make you sad. Desperately trying to keep a smile on your face will only make your depression worse, a new study suggests.
Feeling content has become the sole goal for many in recent years, but embracing your sadness may be more beneficial. University of Melbourne researchers said that society's downright shunning of being sad could be harmful for sufferers of the blues. Dr. Brock Bastian, a psychologist behind the study, said: "Depression rates are higher in countries that place a premium on happiness. Rather than being the by-product of a life well-lived, feeling happy has become a goal in itself. This reinforces the message that we should aim to maximize our positive emotions and avoid our negative ones".
Society needs to change its attitude on depression if the disorder is to be tackled effectively, Dr. Bastian hinted. He added that people have become so used to not showing signs of vulnerability due to social media being used to celebrate achievements. For the study published in the journal Depression and Anxiety, the researchers assessed 112 depressed patients. Each volunteer was asked to rate their symptoms of the blues and how much pressure they faced to be happy. They were tracked over a period of one month.

Passage3
Robot Recruiting
The prospect of job interviews is daunting enough, but some of us look forward to charming potential employers when meeting face to face. However, it's markedly more difficult to build that all-important rapport when the "person" interviewing you isn't a person at all.
Jake Rosen is a recent graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). After applying for a position at the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), Rosen learned that he wouldn't be going to an office to talk to a human being about his skills, his interview instead being carried out via webcam.
While Skype interviews are nothing out of the ordinary, some companies are now using a much more high-tech solution. The interview questions pop up on the screen, giving a limited amount of time to respond. This method requires that you deliver your answers to the webcam before they are sent to the company's hiring manager after the session ends.
"It's such a weird experience talking to a camera. It honestly was pretty horrible," Rosen said. Not used to being in front of a lens, he felt flustered after just the first question, which affected the rest of his interview.
For many of us, this experience may soon be unavoidable - the human-free video interview is being more commonplace. HireVue, one of a handful of American companies making video interview software, works with around 600 large organizations, including Deloitte, JPMorgan Chase and Under Armour.
