I took some interview courses from the county works project and they advised that this situation is common and to always be prepared. It's up to the interviewers to initiate a video call and they can spring it on you to see how you deal with the pressure. Remember that only part of the interview process is confirming your experience, which you've documented in your resume, and the rest is to see if they like you (testing your attitude, humor, and other behavior questions).
You should be testing yourself by reading up on interview STAR questions and responses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situation,_Task,_Action,_Result). Look up some of the standard questions and write down your answers. You can also help yourself by making an elevator speech (http://sfp.ucdavis.edu/files/163926.pdf) so you can start out the interviews with this simple speech. Don't memorize one, but have topics or points to cover, and get it in a process that allows you to repeat it effortlessly, though you need to be prepared to improvise.
Good luck!

I create a draft email on Monday and add to it over the week for shopping on Sunday.

I will read more about these reports, this is somethung i never knew that its paid to get on it.

If you ever look at a report, it's pretty obvious. They will do things like intentionally skip the best products in a category to make the second best product look like it is the best. Or they rename categories to make the category specific to the product in question. They use real statistics which makes their marketing powerful, but present them in a way that makes the products sound good.

It's inverse statistics. Instead of determining what matters and finding the products that are best at that thing, they start with a product and show you what it is best at.

Here's an example of PETA's efforts in the US.

That's just an excuse. Had the circus not sucked it wouldn't have mattered. PETA didn't do anything but let the circus whine and complain.

@scottalanmiller said in Sales People HOF:

That Matt Wien guy really wants us to avoid his company! Damn.

I am not going to recover one of the emails to show you all, but he basically hit reply to the prior sent mail and then pasted in shit again.. each email contained all the prior email text.

I will absolutely never do business with Dashlane unless there is no other viable option.

Just a regular business man. I enjoy so many different things. I like IT because it does not tie me down. So I think that entrepeneur would give me a similar non-tech bit of variety.

@stus said in spammed by KnowBe4:

Guys,

We honor any and all "ask-off" requests. At the bottom of all our emails are unsub options and they work. If they don't - email me and I will fix that.

Also, you can email me personally at [email protected] if you want to get out of salesforce and/or the newsletter and we WILL get you off the list.

Warm regards,

Stu

That's just it - I want on that list - but I want off the phone calls and direct emails from sales personal list.

Awesome doggie!!

My littlest one if you notice, has a sweater on. He will not go outside to do his business without it. He shivers in the cold.

That's my daughter with my cousin's dog. This is the house that we are staying at right now. The dog's name is Bianca.

Ahhh, I C.

My dogs' names left to right are Jersey, Zeus, and Pablo. Zeus keeps the other 2 in line. You can tell he is all business just by the look on his face. He's real good though. Dedicated to his mother like you wouldn't believe. She has a seizure 2 nights ago and I had to literally drag him off of her so I could tend to her.

it's more the about the volume of chat messages/facebook messages/skype messages this will generate to me 😛

If it's PDF, are you proposing manually pulling the data out for the nice displays?

You were lucky enough to move there in an interesting year. Boise saw record snowfall last week, and it is true that a city only plans for 'the norm'. When planning for the norm proves ineffective, only then will they invest in new plows. Every city has posted evacuation routes in case of emergencies. Those evacuation routes (often residential side-streets that are otherwise not often used) are always the first to be plowed. Then they move to main arteries, then busy residential arteries. In a bad storm, most other residential streets are ignored entirely.

I'm in Montana. Our past 5 winters have been some of the worst on record. The first one was a nightmare; nothing was plowed. The plows the city did have were being run 24 hours a day on shifts, they were breaking down, etc... the breaking point was that they couldn't keep up with clearing evac routes. Over the next few years, our city has gotten VERY good at plowing. We have some seriously behemoth machines. Plows travel in pairs so they can clear an entire street in one pass, they usually run from 9 PM to 6 AM to not interrupt traffic and only spot check during the day. You almost never see them and the streets are always clear. It's amazing how far they've come. This winter has been nuts so far. Shovel 12" off the drive, shovel 10" the next day, then the wind picks up and drifts, so you shovel another 12" of wind packed ice. Rinse repeat for 3 weeks. My brother has been running his 4-wheeler up and down streets charging people to clear driveways.

tl;dr: They're right. If Boise rarely sees over 4", it's hard to justify new equipment in the budget. Buy yourself a 4-wheeler with a plow and charge $50 to clear driveways. It'll pay for itself in a week.

If I remember correctly we had a game last 4 1/2 hours before.

My New Years Resolution.... is to not make any New Years resolutions! 🙂

But can you stick to it?

I don't know. We'll find out. ha ha.

@TAHIN said in Tell me if this is a legit idea:

@scottalanmiller

IBM used me as an example case for this a decade ago. One of the biggest controllers of my own data that there is out there.

So IBM collected real stuff or fake stuff?

IBM used me as the case of the person generating the most controlled content so that algorithms know me only by how I want them to know me.

I think running a yield is a problem to be associated with running yields, not the circle beyond the yield.

Yeah, I think it's an American problem in general when it comes to Yields.

Even NY has this issue. It's ridiculous. And cops often ticketing the innocent party. It's a major problem.

The county engineers don't even know how to make a safe one in the states. Wooster, OH just put one in on the major north/south route through town. A truck can not safely traverse the thing. They put benches in the center... that get run over whenever a truck tries to use the intersection. On a state route....

Ok, I'll try to stop the old truck driver grumblings.

We have one in Geneseo, NY that no one is sure if it is a circle or just an intersection with something in the middle. It's too tight for even a car to make a turn around. It's crazy. No space for it at all.

County Engineer #fail

At least no one dies when the trucks routinely drive through the fountain in Geneseo.

lol... for some odd reason, nobody uses the sidewalk and benches in the middle of the one in Wooster!

Probably best. Which route is it on? I drive through there all of the time.

83, just north of the main shopping area

Oh, i never take 83.

Yeah, US30 is really nice through most of Ohio now, just the bit east of Canton that becomes a pain now.

@MisterZee said in CloudAtCost Update:

@scottalanmiller You can checkout http://rgvrrm.org. They run their own railroad. The museum supports railroad history preservation and education. If you ever wanted to be an engineer this is the place for you.

The museum only gives rides a few times per year but volunteers are there nearly every Saturday working. Drop me a line if you'd like a tour. I'm the Volunteer Coordinator there.

OMG, I had no idea you volunteered at my LOCAL railroad museum! I'm totally stopping by sometime. I know the museum well, I've driven past several times in the last few months.

I just bought a couple of them last week for my colleagues.
