Is our life one big interview? How do we get the job of a lifetime?

Look at your life up to this point.  Where are you in life at this moment?  Where you are today is in fact determined by what you have done in the past.  You have worked to get yourself to this point in life through your prior decisions.  Think about your interviews that you have had.  One central question is to tell them a little about yourself.  You end up telling them what you have done, where you have been and why you are interviewing for the position.  Look at your life.  Ask yourself to tell yourself a little about yourself.  You are basically interviewing for the next chapter in your life. 

Our life can be looked at as one big interview process.  We are constantly evaluating ourselves, working through our current situations and seeking answers in order to move forward.  We put ourselves in situations and then make decisions just like we answer situational questions in interviews.  Our life is in actuality one interview after another in hopes of building a better life and along the way a perfect career.  We are working towards something and always looking for that life promotion or opportunity.  Rarely do we see individuals just sitting there and taking what comes at them with no effort at all.  Most are seeking ways to improve their life situation or at the very least maintain it.

Our life interview is with those around us and even within ourselves.  Keeping it simple in life is very important in order to reach those optimum goals that we have.  In my book "Tennis Everyone!  An Empowering Way to Improve Your Interactions with Others," I use the concept of the Simple Set in order to illustrate this point. Our life interactions are constant and we need to simplify this process.  From the book:  "In order to be successful in your interactions through life, you need to keep it simple and understand what you are facing." "We tend to over think life when we are playing in one of our games."  "Keeping it simple is really putting things into perspective." and "We should not worry about what we cannot control and therefore we should not be in our interactions to control others."  Look at your life as an interview process and that you are interviewing for the job of a lifetime.  Searching for that ultimate career, means interviewing who you are and those around you.  Your interactions can help determine your outcomes to successful career and life attainment.

In order to win that ultimate interview in life, we must avoid mind control.  For a screenplay that I wrote concerning multi-level marketing as a base platform,  I researched the concept of mind control and then looked at this concept in our lives.  From my book as well: "Through researching multi-level marketing, I came across the concept of mind control.  This applies to life daily ......" "The easy definition is one of persuasion." "The idea is to take away a person's conviction and replace it with a set of alternative beliefs." and "We are constantly challenged in our interactions with others to follow their beliefs and change ours."  How can you obtain that ultimate career and life?  Know what you are interviewing for.  I remember the basic saying, "If something is too good to be true, then it probably is."  Think about the things in life that have distracted you from your life dream or even from going after that prized job or career.  We often fail to truly research or think through what we hear.  How many times have you been talked out of something?  I remember wanting to be a "water lawyer" and being talked out of it by an attorney and a judge.  Wow! Look at the demand for water.  How busy would I be?  When we go into a job interview, we should be researching the job in every detail.  Is this the right job for me just because others say it is?  Be careful.  In my latest ebook:"Quick Guide to Success" -Interviewing Strategies, I discuss briefly the importance of research.  Daily as you interact with others and even yourself, be careful not to just take things at face value.  Keep control of your mind and find the answers you truly deserve to know and understand.

I write about this often, always ask the question in everything you do in life: "Does this make sense?"  Is what I am doing right now make sense? This is the central question you should ask yourself when in interactions with others or when you are facing life's challenges or making life decisions.  I love conversing with others around the topic of strengths and weaknesses.  We tend to focus on our lack of abilities as weaknesses and immediately give up on a goal or idea.  In my book I discuss the concept of "Having a weakness is not a bad thing, it is a natural thing."  When we interview for a job, we are most likely going to be asked for our strengths and weaknesses.  All we need to do is to identify those things we need to work on and develop them.  In my ebook as well, I discuss how to answer those questions in a way that makes the interviewer(s) see your potential.  When you look at your life, build upon your strengths and utilize them to the fullest while working on ways to improve those things you falter at.  We are not perfect and no one is or ever will be.  Understand that we all have things we need to work on, but do not forget about those things that you are already great at! 

You are an amazing person.  As you live life, know that you are interviewing for a lifetime just like when you interview for a job or career move.  Apply simple interview skills to life and always ask yourself the one essential question, "Does this  make sense?"  When you begin to ask that question and truly evaluate where you are, your life will become a wonderful adventure and you will maintain your own mind.  See where you want to be in life and career, and then accept it when it comes to you.  If you truly answer those questions in life and truly seek the answers, you will begin to realize how wonderful you are and will achieve all that you seek.  Trust me, no trust yourself.  Believe in what you have and build upon what you need.  Please contact me for any other questions you may have or read my book and ebook as they are designed to help you discover your true life understanding.
