Sesto capitolo: Storia di un gatto e del topo che divento' suo amico

Before you enter the boardroom or HR's office you'll meet alot of people along the way. Will you be nice and say hi? Will you smile? Or you'll be thinking of your interview most of the time forgetting others around you?

What would you like others to feel about you? What impression do you want to make? If you smile, your shoes, your nails and your clothes were to communicate - what would they say about you?

What is the outcome you are going after?

These are some questions and a lot more are awaiting for you in the middle of the podcast and more to the end too. Listen in, take notes and apply it. They are simple but effective!
