“Interviewers are sick of robotic, canned answers people have read in books. So instead of feeding you readymade answers, I'm going to help you think though and prepare your own answers---ones that are both authentic and strategic.”
Thea Kelley, Get That Job! The Quick and Complete Guide to a Winning Interview

“Asked what we do best, few of us would say 'doing a great job interview.' Yet this is one of the most highly rewarded abilities in life.”
Thea Kelley, Get That Job! The Quick and Complete Guide to a Winning Interview

“Authenticity and strategy could be called the 'yin and yang' of good interviewing--except that they aren't opposites. The opposite of authenticity is phoniness, and the opposite of strategy is randomness, or carelessness.”

“Asked what we do best, few of us would say 'doing a great job interview.' Yet this is one of the most highly rewarded abilities in life.”

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.”
Dr. Seuss

“Authenticity and strategy could be called the 'yin and yang' of good interviewing--except that they aren't opposites. The opposite of authenticity is phoniness, and the opposite of strategy is randomness, or carelessness.”
Thea Kelley, Get That Job! The Quick and Complete Guide to a Winning Interview

“My gods or your gods, who know which are stronger?' That's why we honor them all - just in case. There are more cultures even than Gods in the Eight Worlds, and among them you'll find people who are willing to kill you, or each other, over any difference in belief or lifestyle or physical appearance you can imagine - and some you can't. They all think they're right. There's no Truth, Tammis, only differences of opinion.”
Joan D. Vinge, The Summer Queen

“Interviewers are sick of robotic, canned answers people have read in books. So instead of feeding you readymade answers, I'm going to help you think though and prepare your own answers---ones that are both authentic and strategic.”
