I woke up this morning, looked in the mirror and did not like what I saw. Fortunately my wife was not standing behind me and so I have no excuse. I have been putting off some of outdoor activities this year due to the rains we have had, but that is a pretty bad excuse. I am afraid if I go to the pool so kid is going to yell "hey we have beached whale". For the good of my job search, my body, and developing a better outlook on life, I am headed back to the gym at lunchtimes. No more excuses. Besides, who wants to hire a fat guy. On another subject, I had an interview last week with our local affiliate station of NBC. They are seeking to fill a pricing/inventory position. I am not sure how the interview went, but I am using all of my resources to help myself out. One important resource I used going in was Google and Linkedin. I walked in the door knowing more about them, than they did about me and they had my resume in advance. I found articles on one of the principles, and information on the others that helped me plan my message around what I believed to be their biases. I then had the opportunity to determine if I was right and tailor some specifics as we spoke. I walked in about as prepared as I could be. Result - one of the interviewers wrote down a specific quote because he knew he could use it later and wanted to get exactly. It really homed in on the situation. I don't know if I am the candidate or not or even if I get another bite at the apple for another week or so. I hope this works out... I think it would be a great opportunity (for both them and me).
