Yes, I haven't been here, but I will bring that.

And in fact, I consider the fact that I don't have experience a bonus because I'm not going to do things the way everyone else does.

I'm going to ask the curious questions where everyone else just takes it as a given.

And do you know what he said to me?

He said, I had planned for you to come in here today and me to tell you that it's not going to work out, but you've completely changed my mind.

I now have confidence in you.

We'd like to offer you the role.

So then I asked for some time to think about it.

And I realized that actually the other one was better suited to me, but it was a lesson in how you shouldn't take yourself out of the game before the game begins.

Go in there with confidence.

Acknowledge if you don't know how to do it.

The worst thing is to say, no, I've done it before and then get caught out.

Don't lie.

But have the confidence, the conviction in the fact that, hey, you have a lot of things you've done before.

You can bring all of that right now.

And in fact, maybe it gives you an edge.

And then you want to tell them how you would spend your first 90 days.

So give them your 90 day roadmap.

So you would go in there and say, okay, so my first 30 days is going to be spent getting a lay of the land to understand how people do things, to understand the culture and to really have more of an observational role.

The second 30 days is going to be me determining what are the gaps that I need to fill the quickest.
