Dear Client,
I take this process very seriously because you are asking me to attach my name and brand to your past, present, and future reputation.
Considering this seriousness, I limit my recommendations to a select few former students, mentees, and former clients, and all must pass my pre-screening process.
Review and submit your short answers to the questions that are relevant by email:
- How do you know me? How long? In what capacity? (For example: (Course, title, what was covered in the course - use the syllabus as a guide) How frequently do we communicate?
- Name three (3) traits, skills, and abilities the school, program, or job requires of their candidates and explain why you have all three.
- Where have I witnessed and assessed you using the three (3) traits, skills, and abilities mentioned above?
- Why do you want to attend this university, join this program, or work in this organization?
- What is an area of weakness / growth area you know you have as it pertains to this opportunity, and what are you committed to doing to overcome it?
- Since we met, have you been involved with any illegal activity, or have anything pending? This will NOT eliminate you. This helps me be transparent as I work with students who have CORIs.
