"Be Prepared When Opportunity Calls"
"Be Prepared When opportunity Calls, " is the title of a "Wall Street Journal" article dated February 7, 200.
Sarah Needleman's article started with, "Mindy Gikas was interviewing a senior-level manager on the phone in October when suddenly the job candidate paused.
He said he was reading an e-mail, recalls Ms. Gikas, a managing director in New York."
"It showed me that his conversation with me wasn't very important." She added, "He wasn't invited to interview in person."
Whether you're the interviewer or the interviewee, at the very least do these thrings.
1. Have a mirror by the phone to make sure you're smiling.
2. Be prepared.
3. Make your call from a quiet environment.
You can learn even more about this by reading the entire "Wall Stree Journal" article.
Let's go sell something . . .
