    <dc:creator>kai</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[What I found is that often once they did something, even the smallest of actions: such as chatting with the bartender for a moment, or asking someone for the time, or even walking to the dance floor and dancing alone for a minute, it would soon give them the inspiration and motivation to do something else. They had sent a signal to myself, “OK, I did that, I guess I can do more.” And slowly we could take it from there.

    <dc:creator>kai</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[About 80% of job openings aren’t advertised to the public, and for good reason. Most employers are legally required to keep a record of every application they receive for up to 1-2 years after a hiring period has ended. Factor a shitty job market, in which there is a highly disproportionate ratio of job seekers to available positions and unsurprisingly, companies who do post job openings online are inundated with thousands of applications from unqualified candidates. It’s a nightmare for HR departments everywhere.

    <dc:creator>kai</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[So stop and take a few minutes to think about it. The correct way to answer is to adapt stories, results, and details into a 2-3 minute narrative. Not longer, not shorter. Specificity is key. Mention the number of people you’ve led, the amount of money you oversaw, and the types of projects you managed. When you tell your story, explain it chronologically and build the experiences in a way that qualifies you perfectly for that job. Make your story memorable, clear, and logical. If the structure resembles the movie Memento, you’ve lost.

    <dc:creator>kai</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The difference is striking. Many of my readers walk in already knowing their interviewer, because they've reached out to the people who work at the companies before they applied. They used their networks, including LinkedIn and mutual connections, to run informational interviews and learn precisely what the company's challenges are. When they walk in the interview room, they know the exact words that hiring managers use to describe their business challenges -- and often, they know the person interviewing them.

    <dc:creator>kai</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[(Optional but recommended) Establish a reputation in your field as someone who delivers measurable results vis-a-vis improving revenue or reducing costs.
Have a hiring manager talk with you, specifically, about an opening that they want you, specifically, to fill.
Talk informally (and then possibly formally) and come to the conclusion that this would be a great thing if both sides could come to a mutually fulfilling offer.
Let them take a stab at what that mutually fulfilling offer would look like.
Suggest ways that they could improve it such that the path is cleared for you doing that voodoo that you do so well to improve their revenue and/or reduce their costs.
(Optional) Give the guy hiring you a resume to send to HR, for their records.  Nobody will read it, because resumes are an institution created to mean that no one has to read resumes.  Since no one will read it, we put it in the process where it literally doesn’t matter whether it happens or not, because if you had your job offer contingent on a document that everyone knows no one reads, that would be pretty effing stupid now wouldn’t it.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>kai</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[If I were to summarize the CEO's advice, it went something like this: Your job isn't to do your job. Your job is to get a better job. That's a system, not a goal.

The trick is that I didn't have an exercise goal in the first place, so I couldn't have failed to reach it. What I do have is an exercise system, and I was completely successful at the system. My philosophy is that losers have goals and winners have systems. 

In this case, my system is that I attempt to exercise five times a week around lunchtime. And I always allow myself the option of driving to the gym then turning around and going home. What I've discovered is that the routine of preparing to exercise usually inspires me to go through with it even if I didn't start out in the mood. This particular day, my body wasn't going to cooperate. No problem. The system of attempting to exercise worked as planned. I didn't have a trace of guilt about driving home. I've used this system for my entire adult life. I see exercise as a lifestyle, not an objective.]]></description>
