Q&A with Rod Colon

Question # 1 – Jennifer S., Allentown, PA

“Rod, doesn’t this whole process seem like an awful lot of work just to find a new job? In The Black Hole, I’m done within 5 minutes. Your methodology looks as if it could take weeks, maybe even months!”

Answer # 1

Yes, it is a lot of work. But didn’t you agree to view your job search as a business back in Chapter 3? Are you going to abandon that mind-set so quickly? Business owners work hard to achieve their goals; as the CEO of ME, Inc., why shouldn’t you?

NEWSFLASH: That “5 minutes” you spend in The Black Hole doesn’t include weeks of waiting for an answer. And guess what? In some cases, the answer never comes — remember that you’re not interacting with live communicating people, just a bunch of computers. In terms of human interaction, it is a totally connectionless environment.

Do you really expect “quick” results from a connectionless environment?
