What REALLY goes on in a job interview? Find out in the new revision of "Sweaty Palms: The Neglected Art of Being Interviewed" (Warner Books) by Tony Medley, updated for the world of the Internet . Over 500,000 copies in print and the only book on the job interview written by an experienced interviewer, one who has conducted thousands of interviews. This is the truth, not the ivory tower speculations of those who write but have no actual experience. "One of the top five books every job seeker should read," says Hotjobs.com. |
| Katie Couric and Bob Costas Cover Gettysburg by Tony Medley The irritating jabber of NBC’s Katie Couric and Bob Costas constantly interrupting Bjork’s spellbinding rendition of her song, Oceania, at the opening Olympics ceremonies got me to thinking how they might have covered Lincoln’s address at Gettysburg:
LINCOLN: Four score and seven years… BOB: Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin in 1809, Katie. LINCOLN: …a new nation… KATIE: Yes, Bob, he is basically self-educated as there were no schools for him to attend. LINCOLN: …all men are created… BOB: He’s received a lot of criticism from the press, especially the New York Times, who referred to him as a gorilla. LINCOLN: …those who here gave their lives… KATIE: He earned more income between 1850 and 1860 than any other lawyer in Illinois. LINCOLN: …have consecrated it… BOB: The word around Washington is that General McClelland might run against him next year. LINCOLN: …little note nor… KATIE: His prospects for reelection aren’t particularly good LINCOLN: …can never forget what they… BOB: There’s even some speculation that Secretary of State Seward might run against him. LINCOLN: It is rather for us… KATIE: Lots of people think that his election caused this war and there are so many young men being killed and maimed. LINCOLN: …last full measure of devotion… BOB: Mrs. Lincoln didn’t accompany the President here to Gettysburg. LINCOLN: …this nation, Under God,… KATIE: Yes, she stayed in Washington to be with her son, Tad. Robert, the Lincolns’ other surviving son, is studying at Harvard. LINCOLN: …of the people… BOB: I understand he’s returning to Washington immediately after the speech. LINCOLN: …shall not perish from the earth. (smattering applause) KATIE: My heavens, it’s over already! That’s it from here in Gettysburg, back to you Matt. August 14, 2004
