Think of each interview as your ONLY interview. It'll focus your mind. 

Now read on, and go make your dreams come true. 

1. I don't guess or assume anything. And I don't like uncertainty. I never say I thought so and so was going to do such and such. I do rely on people, and I do delegate, that's the way I get my work done fast, but I don't make assumptions or decisions without knowing my mission, without being sure of the facts. Bosses hate uncertainty. Their job is always to make sure, to nail down. Reliance on the presumed performance of other people or computers will only disappoint you and your boss. Other people don't always have your success in mind nor their agenda always coincide with yours. 

2. I'm ready for problems before my boss and they are staring me in the face. People make mistakes, things go wrong, colleagues go on vacation, subordinates don't show up, computers crash, that's the way life is. I go over my check list, I call everyone, I send reminder emails, I make sure talks to each other. I give my boss regular updates. There a sweet payoff. I'll face fewer ugly surprises. No one really cares how you get the job done, or who or what caused the problem. Every body has problems. All your boss cares about is whether the job is done. You have the responsibility. Be a professional great doer. 

3. Stand up and take responsibility when things go wrong. 

Never blame anyone else. I learn from the disasters. Lightening will strike if you even mention a customer with your boss. Don't be a wimp. Be bold. Your boss want to know he can count on you when something goes wrong. 

4. I crank out more work than is expected of me.

 I like people to know who I am, what I am doing: my colleagues, my boss, etc. People who will determine my business fate. To come in early. To put in ten, twelve hours a day. To come in on Saturdays. To work all night. More work, harder tasks, and tighter deadlines. The sooner you get started on hard work, the sooner you'll get to the corner office. 

5. I can beat fair and square. 

I'm competitive. I want to win. I want to succeed, but never at the price of ravaging the careers of people I work with. I think of fairness and hard work as forever virtues. Life's tough this way, but it's more rewarding. I can beat and win fair and square.  

6. I've serious goals. I work hard for them. 

I come in. I know what needs to get done. I get it done. I do my work. I don't waste time. I'm in great shape. My work is my duty, my responsibility. Not burden, and never something I have to do to get by. Getting by is a dead end. I have big dreams, I've serious goals, to reach them, I know I have to work seriously. I deliver good work, right and on time.

7. I write lucid, succinct memorandum. 

8. I'm always on time. 
My boss, colleagues, family depend on me to do my work. They also depend on me to do it on time. I don't disappoint them. I don't let them down. How could I? I've given my word to people I work with, and my family depends on me to work and earn a living. I'm obligated to do what I've given my word to do.

9. I'll get to know people in my business.  
My entire career depends on the support and good will of everyone in my business. Inside my company and outside. First, I want to know everything about my company: what products we're making, what services we're rendering, how we're pricing them, who are our suppliers? Who are our customers? What can I so for my colleagues? How they might reciprocate? I'll get to know everyone, they get to know me. I go see them at their offices, and visit with them at business lunches: dinners and conventions.

10. I read business and trade magazines.
To stay on top of what's going on in my business, I read every business and trade magazine I can get my hands on. I don't do it to impress interviewers or my boss, it's the only way to keep up with the ever changing market place. Leaders profiles, who's in ? who's out? what's hot? what's not? consumer trends, fresh ideas, new products. Without my trade magazines, I couldn't get my work done right, or speak knowledgeably about my business.

11. I fit in anywhere.
I also adjust easily. I get along with line workers at the plant, salesmen on the road. I know people from all walks of life.

12. I understand boss speak.
when you get a chance, can you do this or that? He's really saying, do this or that now. I understand criticism in boss speak: This is good work, but I wish you'd done it this way.

13. I'm looking for a career.   
I love the job you're interviewing me for. I'm so glad I made the cut to come in. I admire your company, and I'd like you to know I'm not a job hopper. I'm looking for a real job, a career. I like working for a company where I can work hard, and showcase what I know, and what I can do, where I'm part of a hard working team, and can remain as long as I am creating, producing, and doing a good job. I'm also looking for a decent salary, so I know your company values my hard work.

14. I've a sense of humor.
But I don't kid around all the time. People are busy. They got things to do. There isn't time. I also don't take myself too seriously. I see people who do.

15. I take a stand only on big issues. 

16. I don't dismiss or underestimate anyone. 

17. I get to know and learn w
hat everyone is doing in my company, especially the movers and shakers. 
I first ask myself  what's the big picture of my company? what business we're in. What products we make. What services we render. Who are our customers? Who are our suppliers? What are our goals? Where is our company going? And how soon we'll get there? Then I get to know the people; what they're doing, and how they're doing things, especially the ones who's moving and shaking the company, the founders. Base, direction, and destination of my career. Every company has a character, the character of the company is reflected in its people.

18. I don't waste time settling scores. 

19. I deliver on my promises. 
I get the job done right, and on time.No one in interested in why the work wasn't done. They've their own problems. They don't want to be burden with yours . So buckle down, and get the work done right and on time.

20. I don't whine, and I don't complain. 

21. I've got a good sense of timing. 
I've the patience and discipline to wait for the right time to initiate things, to change things or ask for things.

22. I keep my mouth shut. 
Information is like water. It finds its way to all the wrong places. I want people around me to know they can trust me with information, especially the valuable kind: job openings, financial data, new products, sales forecasts. People talk, words get around, you get nailed.

23. I speak the truth.   

24. I turn out good work.
Doing things over again costs your company time and money. Bosses hate spending money they could have saved at things been done right the first time.

25. I get along with my co-workers. 
 I make myself get along with my boss. I'm on a team with a mission, to work hard, to turn out a good work, and to turn a profit.

Something extra, always surprise people with something extra

26. I listen. 
Some people only hear, I listen. I acknowledge, and I respond. This is how business gets done. People like and want to be heard.
