...is with us Southwest Regional Manufacturers Association. Betsy, I understand
that you have recently become the new Executive Director of the Manufactures Ass
ociation?
Yes, as of June first.
Okay, so you're in, and you're running and-- I was hoping you could tell us more
about the organization: how it's structured, some of your members, just anythin
g you can share with us.
Certainly. Southwest Regional Manufacturers Association is built around the foun
dation of, first of all, education. So we need to have an educated workforce tha
t is ready to work in manufacturing and really understands that manufacturing is
no longer a smokestack, that it's a pretty clean job that requires some highly
technical skills to be successful. And then the second part of it is partnering
with the Horizon Council and the Industrial Development Authority to fuel econom
ic growth in the manufacturing sector in Southwest Florida.
What are some of the interesting trends that you're seeing in manufacturing, as
you're talking to some of the businesses here in Southwest Florida that are in m
anufacturing?
I've seen lots of growth in our membership.

[music] Hi there. I'm Denise Richardson and this is howdini.com. If you want to
learn how to ace a job interview, stay tuned. We're about to talk about it with
Maggie Mistal, who's a life purpose and career coach who can be heard regularly
on Martha Stewart Living Radio on Sirius. Thank you so much for being with us.
Thanks, Denise.
You show up, you're dressed properly, you walk in to meet the interviewer.
What's the first thing you do when you walk in?
I love to smile, and obviously, I think you could tell by that, but I like to ma
ke the interviewer just as at-ease as I'm trying to be, because really, this int
erview is a conversation that you're going to have with this other person who is
a human being, and it can be a real ice-breaker if you can just be relaxed, and
at least give yourself a break and say, "Hi, how are you?" And even try to talk
about the weather or some type of other ice-breaker that kind of gives everybod
y a chance to take a deep breath because this is an evaluative conversation, and
it can be nerve-wracking for both parties.

How many sales did you make a week?
I would make between three and five sales per week.
Now, what you said, you get 20%, that's $560 less the $75. You're back to $485,
so you're sometimes making a couple thousand dollars in a week?
Yes.
How did you feel about that at your young age?
I was on top of the world.
So what did you learn there? What did you learn about yourself and from that com
pany?
Well, if I could just go back just a little bit, I learned that by following the
ir system I can make sales, and when I didn't, I didn't make sales. For example-
-
Give me that one more time, when you followed their [crosstalk]. The presentatio
n system.
Yes, sir. I would make sales, and when I didn't, I didn't make sales. In my firs
t 30 days there, I outsold everybody.
So the interviewer says to that prospective employee, "Why do you want to leave
your job?"
