Ask Diana If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, just email Ask Diana. I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 days.

I am looking for a sales job. I am really good at sales and have a photographic memory. I’ve worked at more than 8 different sales jobs and have always been one of the top performers. My last sales manager wanted me on his team because he could see how good I was. I worked really hard to win a prize because I needed the money to replace my car.

I was trying for the $10,000 prize, but we won $2500, and he only gave me $500! I had to quit when I got treated that way. I had to quit one job because my car wasn’t working, but now I drive a car that drives great even though it doesn’t look good. I got divorced in 1996 and had to declare bankruptcy to save my house. After 5 years, I lost my house, and now I’m starting over. I can sell anything.

I’m not sure if there is a question in there, but I have to ask what sharing all of your personal negativity has to do with getting a job? Sales Managers are looking for people with good attitudes who will work hard to be successful. I will give you some advice, though: don’t share personal information with an interviewer. Your number 1 job in an interview is to sell yourself. You didn’t sell me and that means you can’t sell “anything.” Complaining about your divorce and hard times is a lousy sales tactic if you really want a job. Please improve your attitude.

I’m from Ohio and haven’t been here long. One company said they were ready to hire me, but I had to get my TDL first. Is that the Texas Driver’s License?

-Richmond, Texas Reader Yep. Tell them that you are going to get the license, go get it, show them the receipt, and then give them

-Spring, Texas Reader

the actual license when you receive No, it’s not a good idea because it it so they can make a copy. I wish may look like a bribe to the recruiter. everything were this easy.

Give it to her after you’re hired.

I interviewed a woman the other day who should have been a perfect employee. Her experience was exactly what we need; she was very professional on the phone and in person and had a great personality.

She had not looked at our website and had no questions at all about the company or the position. She talked about shopping instead of the job. She acted like it was a social situation! Can you tell people to show interest and research the company?

-Houston Texas Recruiter You just told them. Thank you!

Have a question for Diana?

askdiana@jobsparx.com

Is it okay to send a gift after an interview? It was a great interview, and she and I really got along great.

She mentioned that she liked wine, and I have a great bottle that I can send.

-Houston, Texas Reader

DAVE SAYS Time What’s in a

Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, popular national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestsellers – The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace Revisited and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.

Ramsey knows first-hand what financial peace means in his own life, having lived living a true rags-toriches to rags-to-riches story. By age 26 he had established a $4,000,000 real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age 30. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right - financially, emotionally and spiritually.

Ramsey offers life-changing financial advice as host of a nationally syndicated radio program, “The Dave Ramsey Show,” which is heard by three million listeners each week on more than 300 radio stations throughout the United States. His syndicated column, “Dave Says,” can be read in more than 250 publications worldwide.

He resides with his wife, Sharon, and their three children, Denise, Rachel, and Daniel, in Nashville, Tennessee.

JobSparx www.jobsparx.com

Name?

Dear Dave,

Dear Dave,

My boyfriend has a lot of debt. The other day a creditor called, and he wouldn’t answer the phone. Then, he told me it would be easier for him to pay off his debts if we were married because I could act as his accountability partner. I don’t want to be the money cop, and I wonder if he would truly be more motivated. What do you think?

My son is a sophomore at a local college, and he wants to transfer to a very prestigious university. If he did this he would incur more than $100,000 in student loan debt, and that’s with us picking up half of the cost. What do you think I should tell him?

Janine Dear Janine, Someone who isn’t making any headway in getting out of debt while they’re single probably isn’t going to do a complete turnaround just because they get married.

You can act as his accountability partner if you want, but you don’t have to get married to help him. In fact, dating is probably a better way to do this, because you can determine whether he’s really changing, or if he’s just trying to get you on board to help pay the bills!

Don’t misunderstand, Janine. Debt, in itself, doesn’t keep someone from being marriage material. But you’re definitely not marriage material if you don’t work, you’re irresponsible, you haven’t taken control of your life, have no character or can’t manage your own behaviors. These kinds of people are going to stay in debt and not be able to pay their bills for the rest of their lives.

I’d say date this guy a little longer, just to see if he’s serious about changing. But don’t get engaged yet, and don’t pay one penny of his bills for him!

—Dave

Will Dear Will, I’d have a hard time telling anybody that one school is $100,000 more valuable than another one. The fact is unless he has $100,000 lying around somewhere, he shouldn’t go to that other school for one very simple reason – he can’t afford it!

We hire people every week at my company, and where they attended college is a very minor deal. There will always be a few corporate types out there who play games and try to turn the office into some kind of snooty country club, but the fact is most employers don’t care where you went to college.

It’s what you learn and being able to use that knowledge in the marketplace that’s really valuable, Will. Knowledge is king, and we live in a knowledge-based economy. If you can’t retain and apply what they’re teaching, then the only thing more worthless than a college degree is a college pedigree!
