I was interviewed earlier this month and so I pasted it below. When people would ask me in interviews, my first answer was, “No nepotism here!” I learned through informational interviews that I should apply to temp agencies. I opened the phone book and signed up with every single one in town. Where did you go to school?

My book about the move towards four-day workweek, Shorter , was published in the US in early March 2020. At first, I worried that it was exactly the wrong time to publish a book on the four-day week. After a few months, this meant that workflows became better-documented and -routinized, pushing hourly productivity upward.

When I was in junior high, there were these things called "slam books." Eventually the teachers got wind of these books and confiscated them. It's many (many) decades later and I still remember the slam book contents from junior high. Before an interview, job candidates are often Googled to check out their online reputations.

Polish up the ol resume It is all right to send your resume out and see what kind of response you get. In this new age of not doing anything more than a quick spell check on documents, make sure you do not have any spelling mistakes in your resume. If you get an opportunity for an interview you may as well go and try it.
