FREE Lesson #8 and Funny Video - Ending with a Period

Employer's Point of View - Lessons from a Seven Year Old. 

End with a period
Growing up with my big sister, we had that sibling rivalry thing down pretty well.   One day we were drying dishes together when she dropped a dish (kblambo) and it shattered on the floor.  Sh-sh-sh-shoomph she flew out of the kitchen like a low-flying jet. 

I bent over to pick up the broken dish when my mother walked in, angry about the kblambo she heard from the other room.  I explained to her with no real energy or conviction”well, my sister did it... She dropped it...  really...?”

Though I knew the truth (complete with sound effects), when I explained it, it sounded like I wasn't sure...?  Like maybe I was making it up...?

How does this help you?  Before seeing an employer, review what you plan to say about your skills/experience that will make you a valuable employee. 
Practice it out loud making certain you end statements with a period.  Like you know what you're talking about because you know you better than anybody else.
Remember: whenever an employer's mind wanders, it wanders away from you.  When something is open to misunderstanding NOT in your favor, that's generally the direction it will go because the employer tries to avoid guessing and tries to never guess wrong about hiring.  If you leave room for mind wandering, they will wander away from positive thoughts about you. 

How to keep them from wandering?  Know your points and express them with a period.   Only way to that is practice out loud.
Making It Work:
Review what makes you qualified for the job, your answers to the three main interview questions |(why hire YOU, why do you want to work for me and "tell me about yourself), your commercial, other aspects of the interview and sound confident, out loud with what you have to say.   Practice three times on three different days to get it right.
