He who talks the least, wins… and gets the job.
March 11, 2010 | (No Comments)
It’s great being in an industry helping people. I read through all the replies to my Monday newsletter — with 3.6 mm subscribers, I get about 800 or so emails per week — and of course hearing from the people we just helped makes us all proud of our work here…
I pulled this out of today’s mailbag — it’s so much fun and so gratifying to watch people put yesterday’s advice to work today and get the job!
“Marc,
I used the same advice from Feb. 22nd e-mail. I printed the e-mail, came up
with my 3 points and on my Feb. 24th interview I nailed it. The hiring
manager went into details about the position and during the interview I kept
telling myself “He who talks the least, wins.”. However, I made sure I got
my 3 points in and stuck with them without going into irrelevant experience.
I had very little information prior to the interview but I had an idea of
which 3 points to use, and listened to the interviewer.
I was the first interview of the day out of many. I received a call at 4pm
and they wanted me to start the next day.
Thanks!
Lisa”
Congratulations Lisa and everybody else who landed this week!
