I’m a master at acing interviews.
My number one trick?
I try to ensure
the interviewer does
most of the talking.
People feel good
when they talk a lot.
They feel intelligent.
They feel appreciated.
They feel listened to.
I once had an interview
in which I said less than 30 words.
That was it.
The interviewer talked the rest of the time.
I was offered the job.

“Be a good listener.
If you’re talking,
you’re not selling.
People like to hear their own voice,
so let them talk.
And when you do speak,
synthesize your thoughts.
Do not ramble.
Speak in sound bites.
It’s the way we remember things.”
Allow others to talk.
They will love you for it.
