My friend, Will McTighe, recently went from 0 to 66 million views in 5.5 months, thanks to Saywhat.

Building your brand on LinkedIn is hard work. You need to master:

• Researching content ideas

• Writing great content

• Engaging with your community

• Achieving your business goals

We’ve both tried every tool and got frustrated, so Will built SayWhat.

SayWhat is an all-in-one personal branding tool that helps you to:

Now let’s get back to elevating your interviewing…

Interview Drama

The interview curveball that revealed a secret strategy

It was the final round of questions during an interview for my dream job.

Everything was going smoothly until he asked:
"How do you handle unexpected setbacks?"

My mind went blank; I hadn’t prepared for this!

“Unexpected setbacks are unexpected. I just handle them!” I replied.
(A little annoyed.)

Taking a deep breath, I realized why he asked me that.

The interview is an assessment. He wants to know if I can handle the job.

I took a deep breath and quickly imagined a medical emergency I faced…
But I told myself I would lead him on with suspense.

I made it sound engaging by explaining the chaos in the ER first >

The interviewers leaned in, interested.

I told them about a friendly elderly man who was joking with the nurses.

I wasn’t going to be able to evaluate him for another 30 minutes.

I was walking towards him to apologize and explain the delay.

He smiled at me. Then his eyes rolled back, and he went unconscious.

This is a good story. I promise I’ll finish it in a minute!
