it is sooooooooo simple…
my candidate asked, when interviewing with two of the sales people
that were part of the interviewing process: “are you going to recommend to the president that he hire me?”
they said: “..well, it is really not my decision..”
he said (and this is great): “i’m not buying that…you are part of the decision making process or you wouldn’t be interviewing me….they obviously think highly of your opinion…
what attracts me to this company is that you all are a close knit group… you rely on one another…you seem to watch each other’s back…i really like that and want to be a part of it…
..now, are you going to tell the president to hre me?”
he had to ask one of sales people this question twice…but he got the answer he wanted…”yes…i will recommend you..”
when he was interviewing with the v.p…he asked the v.p. five times if he would recommend him…the v.p. finally said, “you really want this job, don’t you?”…”you have my vote!”
what is funny/sad…whatever, i try to teach every candidate i get past first base to do this and they don’t..
the highest compliment a teacher can get is a student who executes the plays the way they are drawn up…go figure …
..why don’t people follow the instructions?????
