Preparation

“One important key to success is self‐confidence. An important key to self‐confidence is preparation.”

Arthur Ashe

“Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It's a result of something... hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.”

Roger Staubach

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”

Colin Powel

Attitude

“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Believe you can and you’re half way there.”Theodore Roosevelt

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”Eleanor Roosevelt

“Know yourself and you will win all battles.”Sun Tzu

Action“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

Dale Carnegie

“When you are going through hell, keep going.”Winston Churchill (probably not)

“The way to develop self‐confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you.”

William Jennings Bryan

“Giving people self‐confidence is by far the most important thing that I can do. Because then they will act.

Jack Welch

• Thanks for the time, be gracious!• Ask if they know where your skills might be more helpful• Offer to forward folks from you network that may be a better fit• Always be helpful.• When they have another position, you want them to remember you!

Interviewing

Interviewing• Get good at handling rejections

• You are going to get lots of them• They make steel harder by putting it in a very high fire and pounding on it• Thomas Edison tested 10,000 light blubs before one worked

• Rejections, obstacles, the “four letter words” in life, all make us stronger

• They require us to dig deeper inside ourselves, exercising the gifts, talents, strengths, wisdom, God gave each of us

• Dealing with these things gives us experience exercising virtues we all need• Patience, flexibility, creativeness, tenacity, …

• Without obstacles to overcome how do we learn and get better and stronger and more skilled at serving our Creator’s will?

Interviewing

Interviewing• What’s the answer if you don’t know?

“Be your authentic self.”
