When

a

recent

college

graduate

came

to

my

office

not

too

long

ago

looking for a sales job, I asked him what

he

had

done

to

prepare

for

the

interview. He said he'd read some- thing

about us somewhere.

Had

he

called

anyone

at

Mackay

more

about

us?

No.

Had

he

called

our

suppliers? Our customers? No.

Had

he

checked

with

his

university

to

see

if

there

were

any

graduates

working

at

Mackay

whom

he

could

interview?

Had

he

asked

any

friends to

grill him in a mock interview?

Did

he

go

to

the

library

to

find

1

我经营着一家有

350

名左右员工的制

造公司

,

我本人常常要对求职者进行面 试

,

决

定是否聘用。

< br>

我喜欢与可能成为销售人员

的人交谈

,

因为他们是我们与顾客联系的纽

带。

2

不久前一个新近毕业的大学生到我办

公室来谋求一份销售工作。

我问他为这次

面试做过哪些准备。

< /p>

他说他在什么地方看

到过有关本公司的一些情况。

3

他有没有给麦凯信封公司的人打过 电

话

,

好更多了解本公司的情况

?

没打过。

他有

没有给我们的供应厂商打过电话

?

还有我

们的客户

?

都没有。

4

他可 曾在就读的大学里查问过有没有

校友在本公司就职

,

况

?

他可曾请朋友向他提问

,

对他进行模拟面

试

?

可曾去图书馆查找过有关本公司的剪

报

Did he write a letter beforehand

to

tell

us

about

himself,

what

he

was

doing

to

prepare

for

the

interview

and

why

he

’d

be

right

for

the

job?

Was

he

planning

to

follow

up

the

inter-view

with

another

letter

indicating

his

eagerness

to

join

us?

Would

the

letter

be in our hands within 24 hours of the

meeting , possibly even hand-delivered?

6

The

answer

to

every

question

was

the

same:

no.

That

left

me

with

only

one

other

question:

How

well

prepared

would

this

person

be

if

he

were

to

call

on

a prospective

customer

for us? I already knew the answer.

As

I

see

it,

there

are

four

keys

to

getting hired:

day

of

practice,

you

notice

the

difference,

saying

goes

among

musicians.

you

miss

two

days

of

practice,

the

critics

notice

the

difference.

If

you

miss

three

days

of

practice,

the

audience

notices

the

difference.

When

we

watch

a

world-class

musician or a top athlete, we don't see

the

years

of

preparation

that

enabled

him

or

her

to

become

great.

The

Michael

Jordans

of

the

world

have

talent,

yes,

but

they're

also

the

first

ones

on

and

the

last

ones

off

the

basketball

court.

The

same

preparation

applies

in

every

form

of

human

endeavor. If you want the job, you have

to prepare to win it.

他事先有没有写封信来介绍自己

,

告诉

我们自己为这次面试在做哪些准备

,

自己何

以能胜任此项工作

?

面试之后他是否打算

再写一封信

表明自己加盟本公司的诚意

?

这封信 会不会在面试后的

24

小时之内送到

我 们手上

,

也许是辛自送来

?

6

他对上述每一个问题的回答全都 一样

:

没有。这栏我就只剩一个问题要问了

:

如果

此人代表本公司去见可能成为我们客户的
