My entire life, I just needed to know.
I’d never let myself wonder.
How great could I be?
The not knowing would just kill me.
A regret I’d never let myself live with.
Ever feel this way?
Ever wonder how good you could be at something if you let yourself be?
If you—literally—gave it your all?
After going through my entire career (eh, life) all-out with no brakes (yes, I meant brakes not breaks), I’ve learned a thing or two about being a maestro.
I’ve interviewed, met with, helped, taught, recruited, and coached tens of thousands of people.
I can distill down, in a few seconds, what makes the best the best.
This approach is bulletproof if you want to be the best you you can be.
It’ll also help tremendously if you’re job searching.
I know it’s Thanksgiving week for many in my community and you might be scurrying around town doing last minute turkey shopping.
That’s why I kept this powerful message to a short 3:39.
Squeeze it in somewhere when you have a few minutes.
The lesson is simple to understand.
Difficult to do.
Fully rewarding.
And life altering.

I realize it’s mid-November and the Christmas décor has already draped many stores for an entire month, but your career doesn’t take a holiday (nor do I).
Today, I’m serving up a major lesson on why now is literally THE BEST time to job search.
You’re at the start line of a 3-month hiring frenzy.
It doesn’t matter whether the year is 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020 or 2024 or any other years I omitted.
It doesn’t matter what you do. Who you are. Who you were. Or, who you want to be.
It's the SAME every single year.
As an executive recruiter, I could have rolled out of bed on Halloween.
Worked until the end of January.
And taken the rest of the year off.
Every year.
Employers start hiring like crazy NOW.
You might consider me nutso for thinking this.
After all, it’s contrary to what most think.
But just because many think it doesn’t make it so.
I’ll debunk the myth for you.
What’s more, I’ll teach you how to swap out couch duty for my Job Search Challenge®.
That way you’ll know exactly how to approach this target-rich, job-searching time.
There’s no time to waste.
Just like I said right there on page 313 of The Zebra Code in Chapter 21 My Gift to Find Your Gift (which, by the by, is my all-time favorite chapter and prose I’ve ever written)…
“Have faith that true champions are made in the darkness. They’re the ones that practice before the sun rises. The treasure that time and know their effort is what will help them make a better life for themselves and others.”
Let’s get to it!

In my lifetime, I’ve prepared, oh, conservatively, about a bajillion job candidates for their interviews.
Most are so worried about the wrong stuff.
Most prepare backwards.
They think What questions will I be asked? I need to come up with a good answer for [insert the dumb ones here about disagreements and conflicts and weaknesses, etc.].
Uh, no. As is, heck to the no!
It’s not about what the interviewer asks.
It’s about what the interviewer needs to know—so they hire YOU!
Today, you’re in luck because you opened this newsletter which leads to a video on my YouTube Channel that teaches THE VERY BEST way to prepare for ANY job interview.
After you watch this, you’ll wonder why you ever prepared differently.
You’ll also start seeing magical results…
