Every minute is an interview

Standing in line at the movies is an interview. Working through a conflict at the doggy daycare is an interview. Cheering your child on during a swim meet is an interview.  Clarifying a confusing hospital bill with the rude accounts payable clerk? Yep, you guessed it. That is an interview.

The next person who offers you a job search lead is not going to be your mother, husband, aunt, or close friend  It is much more likely that your next job opportunity will come from someone you barely know. Perhaps you have not even met the person yet.

And that is why you must remember to bring your best self to every single interaction.  Smile. Look people in the eyes. Know your worth and recognize the worth of others.
Just remember: Every minute of your life is an interview.
