with someone, and end with the Peak/End

• “You know, you are an interesting person, I’d
love to hear a story about something you’ve
been able to accomplish that you’re particularly
proud of.”

express real interest in the story and let the
conversation come to a natural, and immediate
end. You’ve just created a bond.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Credibility: Years of experience, cultural and management experience, two executive recruiters want to take this material and write a book targeted at GenY folks. The material resonates with them. Where we will start tonight is the interview. The things you do to get to the interview I do not plan to cover tonight.
  2. Your job is to find a job. Treat it as a full-time job. You are a saleperson, but in the most modern sense of that word. The product is not you. You are just like most candidates, and just as qualified, and experienced, and intelligent, and insightful, and dignified, and honest, and hardworking, and delightful as every other candidate for the job. You are not selling that, it doesn’t differentiate you. What is the hiring company and manager buying? Solution to the B2B and B2C problems
  3. Everything you’re focussed on is “It’s about me, my experience, my abilities, my skills, my competencies. Why, because that is what you think matter to the hiring company, and they do. But, if you did not have those, you’d never have made it to the interview. To keep selling that which they have already purchased is not likely to be that effective. That is the old sales model, how has it matured. Sales has move to being the problem solver and having a trust relationship.

  5. An interesting example of how the removal of visual criteria, and restraints on the Music Director, can help establish equal opportunity is found in the Montreal Symphony Orchestra.  Charles Dutoit fired Margaret Morse, the associate principle oboe.  She auditioned again behind a screen and won her position a second time.  Dutoit was reported to be "sore". How to Talk to Practically Anyone About Practically Anything - Barbara Walters. You are a most interesting person when they do all the talking. Daniel Kahneman and the Peak-End Theory. What’s in the middle isn’t lost to memory, it just doesn’t enter into the evaluation of the quality of the experience.
  6. Networking- key activity for getting the interview. Do more of it than you think you can stand. As you do more of it, it mutates from being difficult to being fun. Stories are valuable. Made To Stick concept. SUCCES, Short unexpected concrete, credible, emotional, stories. Practice and Practice again. Support Group
