Richard Branson says I hire for personality.    Make yours shine through in your interview by investing in yourself.  be prepared for you interview, research the company, the interviewer and be an expert on yourself.  Have a prepared pitch and be prepared to use that pitch to charm and connect with your interviewer, make your real self shine through.   Deploy a real process of getting to know someone.  It will get you to an immediate connection…..

This is what the boss wants.

There is nothing more important for a business than hiring the right team. If you get the perfect mix of people working for your company, you have a far greater chance of success. However, the best person for the job doesn’t always walk right through your door.

The first thing to look for when searching for a great employee is somebody with a personality that fits with your company culture. Most skills can be learned, but it is difficult to train people on their personality. If you can find people who are fun, friendly, caring and love helping others, you are on to a winner.

Let’s create and practice,practice and practice our pitch today.

Did you ever think that you could learn about basic relationships in a book about selling?

Well believe it or not.  You can and it does teach! Jeffrey Gitomer gets the basics of relationship building.  He knows exactly how to let you know the unbreakable laws for creating real and true relationships through knowing yourself and creating value.  While his rules are simple they are not always easy to deploy.  If you focus on the 3p’s, Personal, Professional and Physical growth you can have it all. Our millennial would be really well-advised to pick up this book and get a lesson in the real-life rules! Good reading!!!

The new mantra for millennials.   Don’t feel like a fraud.  Focus on yourself and make good with these lessons.   Opportunity looks a lot like hard work.  Work hard, pay your dues and dedicate yourself to taking the steps to where you need to get.  Being sexy is being smart.  Continue to learn each day and push yourself to be better.  Be thoughtful and generous.  The world is your oyster.  Push boundaries and work hard.  Build your own life, always be sexy and live your own life.    A lot like George Bernard Shaw’s advice who says “life in not about finding yourself it is about creating yourself.”  Millennials are most gifted to do this: it is who you are.   My advice at launchbox is what happens to you is because of you.  Have at it.
