We’re about to wrap up a big month for hiring.
How’s your job search coming?!
I hope you’re getting those interviews and, today, I have a not-so-little something special to help.
I’m covering one of my all-time favorite questions to ask an employer in a job interview…
“What does success look like—exactly?”
If you don’t know what success looks like, how will you know what goals to shoot for?
How would you know whether you’re working toward the right results?
How would you—or THEY—know how to “grade” your performance?
It absolutely amazes me any organization can function, let alone survive, without knowing the answer to this question for every single person it employs.
BUT (you knew this was coming), you and I know this happens frequently.
Now, I already told you the question—which is the main theme for today’s lesson.
But, how could I have possibly spent 26:32 on this ONE question?
Because, THIS question will become the centerpiece of your entire job search.
And (taking a giant deep breath here to say all this all without pausing so please forgive the upcoming run-on sentence)…
THIS question will make you successful if you focus on it from the time you think about what you want to do with your career to writing your resume and cover letters and LinkedIn profile to choosing which companies and people you target, how you get the interviews, what you say to those nice people in the interviews, and…when you finally ask this question in the interview…to confirm you know what success looks like and on you go to the counteroffer.
I’m pretty sure that’s how I lay it out and everything I ultimately cover in this action-packed, highly-education, pivotal lesson.
Get ready to change the way you think about job searching!

Do you want to be known as “the man” or “the woman” in your field?
A legend?
I do.
And, I’m proud to say so.
But I don’t master my craft because I need external adoration. That’s not the driver.
I do it for me and because it serves you.
My friends and family don’t understand my uncommon drive probably because it’s uncommon—truly rare.
If you want to be a 1%-er do you think behaving like the other 99% will get you there?
In The Zebra Code (get the BOGO offer NOW while it supplies last), I wrote a chapter called “Mastering Your Trade.”
I emphasize the importance of developing not just specific job skills, but foundational capabilities that transcend your particular trade. These are the skills that set you apart and enable you to excel no matter the industry you're in.
I cover the strategic approach to skill mastery, starting with building the right mindset, cultivating an attitude of abundance and optimism, continually learning, and seeking the right mentors and educational opportunities.
On we go to identifying the right capabilities and building and practicing them diligently. And never stopping.
All of these efforts are part of a personalized roadmap that guides your growth and ensures you're always moving forward, even when you hit inevitable bumps along the way.
Do you want to commit to excellence?
Do you want to become an expert in your field?
The first step is only a chapter or video away.
This ENTIRE week I’m treating you to some serious assets that will catapult your career.
The only two questions are, “Will you take advantage of them?”
“Will you keep going?”

Today, let’s talk how to answer negative job interview questions.
These are brutal. Tricky. And, to boot, give you loads of opportunity to mess us.
They are literally a complete waste of breath and give the interviewer absolutely zero data on whether you’ll be a star employee.
But, for some unknown reason, instead of asking you bright and effective questions that elicit information to actually help them determine whether you’ll be a winner, they ask you…
You get the idea.
Good news is your beloved coach will give you a bulletproof formula for all of these dumb and useless questions.
Take a listen!
