Getting the Job

I’ve recently had the dubious pleasure of having to go to some interviews again, and noticed that I had not as yet posted anything under the heading of “Career”. Well, this is the ideal opportunity to do something along that vein. Interviews are one of the strangest events you’ll ever experience. However, as with all meetings, you’ll get most out of the meeting by preparing and knowing exactly what you want to gain from it. If you’re thinking, “Well that’s easy, I want to get the job offer”, then that is exactly where the problem lies.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

Move, Rest, Eat, Sleep…

A few days ago while doing a heavy set of Incline Bench Presses, I asked one of the guys standing around to spot me during the last set. I was already tired and stopped somewhat short when bringing the weights down. After the set, the spotter advised me to drop the weights and rather bring it all the way down to my chest. Nothing wrong with the advice, so I just said; “OK, thanks for the help” and moved on. But I immediately realised that I was looking at this young man who was badly overweight, could not push half the weights that I did, and thinking; “who is he to even think of giving me advice?”

Even good advice from those who have obviously not achieved is often spurned.

The truth is that we happily take advice from people who have already achieved a level of excellence to which we aspire. Even good advice from those who have obviously not achieved is often spurned. So, I have decided to spend more time writing articles related to the area where I can show demonstrable results. Health and fitness is a strong suit, and I post a recent picture to show this (Note: I am NOT a body builder, and looking like one is not a goal – I gym for fitness, health and keeping in shape).
