Four Stages of the Ideal Employee

About the Book

Four Stages of the Ideal Employee is a compilation of actual interviews and personal chats held over the years with individuals seeking employment with either firms I had owned and managed or over which I had been entrusted with the responsibility to recruit and build an effective staff. You will observe that this booklet has been composed in the natural format of an informal conversation, therefore releasing it from the bonds of what may be considered normal literary diction. As you read through Four Stages of the Ideal Employee, I personally invite you to imagine yourself sitting in a comfortable office, sipping on a cup of coffee, and listening to a personnel director who really wants to hire you, perhaps because there is some obvious and revealing good in you. If you listen to the voice as you read, you just might forget that it’s only a booklet, and God willing, you will rise tomorrow with a new outlook on your job or the one you are seeking. Have a nice time.
