A funny thing happened to me on the way up to get an egg sandwich and a juice at the local Dunkin Donuts... I got some business. I needed to get out of the office for a while, and while thinking of how to prospect a bit and grabbing something to eat, I ran into a person who was actually interviewing me as I stood in line! The man had a daughter who needed a real estate agent to help attain her first place. She had been looking for a while and was having no luck, so she was in the market for some representation.
Now, the interesting thing here was, I had no idea the man was looking. Our initial conversation started out very innocuously with talk about the Bruins game the night before. However, as we continued to converse, he let me know his true intentions. When I asked what prompted him to ask me for help, he said he appreciated my candor and my ability to interact with a total stranger. This gave him a level of confidence in my abilities, and at least some insight into me as a person. Plus, the name tag I was wearing did not hurt either, he said. And as a result, I have a meeting time and date to discuss properties with his daughter. The moral of the story here is plain to see; every interaction is a possible job interview, so be aware that those around you are judging, and may just want to hire you! Happy Hunting!
