"Whether it is a formal performance review or a potential employer evaluating us in casual conversation we are constantly being interviewed. I will be posting a series of thought starters that walk you through finding and telling great stories that might wow an interviewer, get a promotion, or at least set the scene for your next performance review.
I think you need at least three stories walking in to an interview. First you need a “who I am” story that says a lot about who you are and who you are not."
I once read somewhere (maybe in an old Esquire guide for how to be a gentleman) that every man should have a repertoire of 3 clean jokes to tell in situations where silence would be awkward. I've worked hard to develop my 3 clean jokes, and "borrowed" liberally to do so.
This piece goes the three clean joke rule one better and speaks to the necessity to have 3 stories that illustrate who you are for use in job interviews and other similar situations. Excellent, excellent advice. I wish I'd read this about 40 years ago.
