Dr. Arlene's Interview of Coaching Client Laurie
"More than 10 years ago, I created the Right Fit Method,TM which I have successfully used to place and coach candidates in the United States and abroad. Eager to share my system with candidates, employees, and employers, I decided to write a book, WIN Without Competing! Career Success the Right Fit Way.
"To communicate the essence of the Right Fit Method, I asked 'Laurie,' one of my coaching clients, to share her thoughts about her coaching experience with me so that I could share it with you. I interviewed Laurie after coaching her to "stardom" . . . the Dean of a School at a university, which is her first high-level management position." Read Dr. Arlene's interview of Laurie after you learn about "Mastering the Right Fit Method."

MASTERING THE RIGHT FIT METHOD _____________________________________
Select the program that is the Right Fit for you now.
You’ve been told how to dress for an interview. The big day is here. You look in the mirror and say, “I look great.” That’s fine, but are you really ready to go on stage? An interview is a performance: like it or not. Let’s get ready to go on stage. The interview game you’re going to play is called WIN Without Competing. To WIN, master a set of strategies incorporated in the Right Fit Method which are the rules of the game.
The Bronze Program
Mini-Power Preps
Perhaps you want and need little jumpstarts to get you ready for a particular interview or you are interviewing again after working a number of years in the same job. Learn how to:
•Arrange in-person interviews without sending your resume first •Stop the employer from interviewing other candidates after they interview you •Ask divergent-thinking questions at the interview to reveal the truth about the job •Sow the salary seeds on the first interview to test the waters •Take charge of your interview, create the exquisite fit, and get the offer
The Silver Program
Power-Preps
It’s the employers’ marketplace. To hear “you’re hired,” YOU must stop the employer from wanting to interview a parade of candidates. Using my Right Fit Method is the key to success. In our Power-Prep sessions you will learn to:
•Shape Your Brand: Create the Right Fit resume to match the specs of the position, how to overcome objections such as short stints, and use my Resume-Ref™ technique which I created. Your resume must incorporate your achievements which you will express in a style that will make you stand out. Your resume is the written broadcast detailing step-by-step why you are exactly the Right Fit for a specific position.
You’re probably wondering if this resume will be the Right Fit for other positions. In some cases, yes. If you need to change it, you will be able to do this effortlessly because you will understand the principles of how to create the Right Fit Resume.
Food for thought: Do I send my resume first or should I arrange the interview before sending the resume?
•Sell Your Brand: It’s time to do a verbal broadcast. To ace the interview YOU must communicate why you are the Right Fit for the position. It’s not uncommon for employers to search for flaws. You need to figure out in advance what those are and the Right Fit Way to eliminate or minimize them. Knowing how to use my signature questioning techniques of Pick, Probe, and Pitch will help you discover what the job really is, how to match the specs, and figure out whether it’s the Right Fit for you. Remember, accepting a new job is like accepting a marriage proposal. You want the relationship to work. You don’t want a quick divorce!
•Share Your Brand: YOU must Manage the Process which means that you, not the employer, take charge of the interview. You want to have a conversation with the employer in which you concurrently show you are the Right Fit, dispel objections, and uncover new information about the position and the company. To share your brand effectively, YOU must be a master strategist.
The Right Fit Method is a powerful tool. Use it wisely. It’s All Up to You!

Highlights from Dr. Arlene Barro's Interview of Laurie
Q:Why did you call me to coach you?
A:"Because I knew I wanted another job. I was unhappy with my current job. I wasn’t getting anywhere on my own, and I was getting desperate."
Q:How did you know you were desperate?
A:"My son was going into high school. If I didn’t act now, I would have to wait another four years."
Q:How did you hear about me?
A:"I saw you two years ago speaking at a professional association. Even then, I was not really happy with my job, but I wasn’t ready to do something aggressive."
"You were radically different from my traditional headhunter colleagues. You were organized and had an approach that was different and proactive, rather than letting someone’s resume sit in one’s filing drawer. You told the meeting audience that the candidate needed to take charge."
Q:When you called me, did you know what you needed to learn from me?
A:"No, but hoped that your approach would create activity with a successful outcome."
Q:What ASSUMPTION did you make about your son that was incorrect?
A:"My one big anxiety was the impact of the move on my son. I assumed that I would have a problem."
But actually: "It turned out not to be a problem. You were right."
Q:When we started to work together, you were reluctant to move and you focused more on your personal situation rather than professional growth. What prompted you to change your focus?
A:"I started interviewing for jobs that offered professional growth. I decided that I could do it. I had been concerned as to whether I had the skill set to do the higher level positions."
"You said, 'You have to put time into this. I don’t care about the dinner dishes and the papers due next week, or the dog that needs to be walked. If you are going to get a new job, you need to focus on the tasks required to get that job. By next week, you must . . ..' Then we’d have a list. I knew that I’d better get my list done by the time we talked."
"You gave me a mandate to take the time to do what needed to be done. You kept telling me that you have to focus on yourself."
"I was highly stressed. My hair was falling out. I wasn’t sleeping. I lost weight. I was a wreck."
"You said, 'Think of what you can do to reduce your stress to focus on the job issues: personal, current job, and family. What can do you do to create an extra hour?' You kept reminding me that if I didn’t get the better job, all these other things would not get better."
"You built my self-confidence. You showed me how to reduce my stress in several different ways. Then you said, 'You aren’t getting the job that you want on your own because you aren’t Managing the Process,' which you insisted that I do."
"You were task-driven, rather than feelings-driven. Managing the Process was task specific and concrete: step by step. My friends supported your approach."
Q:To prepare for interviews, we talked about what was important to say to the employer to show why you are "the Right Fit." I refer to this as "Packaged to Pitch." TM Were you ever asked about your management experience?
A:"I had managed 8 or 10 people many years ago. I convinced them that I could do it. I told them that I had managed a wide array of people. I gave them an appreciation of how I manage in different circumstances. I told them that the faculty wants to be independent, and that I needed to empower them rather than micro-manage them."
Q:How did Managing the Process help you close your offer?
A:"I didn't give up. I continued to Manage the Process to get the offer which had not come. You told me to ignore the rumors that they were re-opening the search and Manage the Process until the deal was done."
Q:Throughout the time we were working together, I emphasized the need to forget about the competing candidates and focus on showing that you were the Right Fit for the position for which you were interviewing. How did this mindset help you?
A:"My anxiety was reduced. I was less worried about the competition. I did no research to find out who they were."
"I always focused on showing them why or how I was the Right Fit. Your words reminded me to emphasize the positive."
Q:What else would you like to say about the coaching method that I use?
A:"The weekly reporting on tasks was helpful. It gave me a timeframe in which to get them done. I reserved an hour of quiet time to determine what tasks were done."
Q:What would you tell others about working with me?
A:"We developed a nice friendship working together by phone."
"The coaching process led to discovering more about myself."
"Laurie and I worked together for nine months. Using the Right Fit Method, she made amazing changes in her behavior and achieved her professional and personal goals. Managing the Process is still not easy for her and for most of us. If you feel overwhelmed, you are NOT Managing the Process!"
