Ask the Right People for References

Don’t underestimate how important references are to the hiring process. Even before you start interviewing, develop a mental list of past and current colleagues who could serve as your references. Your list should have former and current bosses, coworkers, and subordinates. Ask managers who have given you positive performance reviews, coworkers who have thanked you for help on projects, and people who have successfully worked under you. Never ask someone to be a reference if you don’t know for certain what he or she is going to say. If you don’t want colleagues to know you’re considering leaving, offer to provide references outside of your company or offer to provide references once you get a formal job offer. Just make sure to find out what the hiring manager wants to check. For example, if he wants to learn about your leadership style, he should speak to your direct reports.

“You may be whatever you resolve to be. Determine to be something in the world and you will be something. “I cannot,” never accomplished anything; “I will try,” has wrought wonders.”

Adapt Your Presentation for Different Cultures

Presentations are never one-size-fits-all—especially across different cultures. People have different ways of learning, so when presenting, you need to be able to adapt your style according to your audience. For example, in “principles-first” cultures (e.g., France, Spain, Germany, Russia), people want to understand the why behind proposals before moving to action. You have to explain and validate the concept underlying your reasoning before coming to conclusions and examples. And you should leave time for people to challenge and debate. But in “applications-first” cultures (U.S.), people focus less on the why and more on the how. Make your arguments by getting right to the point. You don’t have to spend too much time building up the underlying theory. Provide practical examples of how it worked elsewhere, and then discuss tools and next steps.
