which is what this book is preparing you to be. Do you have a
hunch what your gift may be?
• What is the thing that people most often compliment you for? Is
it your wit or intelligence? Is it the ability to find humor
in any situation?
• What is a quality that you would never, under any circum-
stances, give up? Is it your passion or intensity? Is it your
rationality? Your devotion?
• What quality would you like to be remembered for after your
death? Is it your perseverance against all odds? Is it your
ability to inspire others? Your brilliance? Your compas-
sion? Your technical expertise? Your leadership?
• Is your gift . . . Your kindness? Your refined artistic taste?
Your vision? Your generosity?

Take a while and think about your gift. Along with all these exter-
nally oriented skills you have identified in this chapter, see if you
can also bring some of this gift in to the interview. Your gift makes
up some of what we call your chemistry with another person. If it’s
worth having (which it is), it’s worth sharing.
