Getting Hired...Opinion #2500

[Beth Agnew]

100%. They either want to talk to me as soon as possible, or they 
absolutely don't. I want that decision to be easy for them. I don't want 
to have to dance with anyone who thinks I"m too expensive, too 
opinionated, too old, too creative, too eclectic, too smart, or too 
crazy. It's a waste of my time and theirs to go through a process that 
has little chance of success. They can't help but read my whole resume. 
Everything is compelling. It may not fit their needs, and that's okay. 
But they read it. And I've built in icebreaker questions for the 
interview. By the time we get to the meat of the interview, they already 
have a sense of whether I'll fit into their organization or not.
