Re: How To Nail a Job Interview (And Actually Get The Job)

I like the point about being candid about failure. I've made conscious decisions in my career to focus on areas that I know are my strengths. When I've taken roles that focus on those strengths, I'm able to overcome the challenges and roadblocks that come up.

Showing a positive outcome to a difficult situation, even if it included an initial failure, can be an excellent way to build credibility during an interview.

Having that vision and working towards an ultimate goal is a great point. It helps keep perspective when innovation doesn't work out because you're not doing it as an end to itself.

I'm looking forward to Humana continuing to share what works and how you're able to continue using the town model to change the way you do business.

When talking about the human side of social media, that is such a great point. So often we talk in the negative about not being SM robot or spammer.

It's a great reminder that when we are being human, and engaging with other humans, the Golden Rule is one of the first things we should be making sure we follow.

I'm glad that I made the short trip up to Dallas. It's always good to get a perspective from other people and companies that are doing things in the space.

I can't believe I'm only worth 3 million. I think that you need to work on your "making up numbers" skills.

This is a great concept. Thanks for the fun.

Shelly, thanks for the comment. I find your point very interesting that rather than being a social connector you feel television is more of a gloss. It's easier to talk with someone about a show you already know the history of than engage in real conversation about life that would require you to really listen to what the other person is saying.
