We’ve had a flurry of press come out this week round our Huge Salad e-newsletter — together with the Wall Avenue Journal and Elle — which has been so thrilling! I’m often the interviewer, not the interviewee, so it has been a enjoyable/wild/nerve-racking experience.
For Elle, Madison Feller and I spoke on the telephone about my first job, writing recommendation, a killer Airbnb wishlist, and the way I invited a Frankies Spuntino waiter over for Thanksgiving. She additionally requested about the perfect and worst profession recommendation I’d ever gotten. (I need to hear your solutions, too!) That is what I got here up with…
***
The most effective profession recommendation I’ve ever heard: Emily Henderson stated this: Folks, particularly girls, will actually love doing one thing, and they also’ll be like, ‘You don’t must pay me, I cherished it,’ or probably not battle for his or her fee. However when you love one thing, you might be higher at it. You’re extra helpful. You’re sooner. You concentrate on it in your off time, you deliver loads of power to it. For those who find it irresistible, you need to cost extra, not much less.
The worst profession recommendation I’ve ever heard: Typically you’ll hear individuals say, ‘Simply say sure, and also you’ll determine it out. Simply take the chance.’ I’m like, ‘No. You possibly can say no. Possibly you need to say no rather a lot.’ I’ve stated no so many instances. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have a job. So many individuals ask you for issues continuously. Simply discover a sort and gracious method to say no, and say it time and again and over till there’s one thing you’re feeling will actually deliver you worth or there’s an actual motive for doing it. However positively don’t say sure to all the things. That’s bananas recommendation. Get good at saying no.
