I've found that when meeting with potential vendors or employees if I talk too much they'll quickly discover what I want to hear and recite it back. If I ask them questions and make them do most of the talking I get a more accurate feel for what they're really about and what they can do for me. Thanks for the informative article.

I am the most obsessed person in the world about being on time at work. I typically arrive 30-45 minutes early. When I get there, I play on the computer or something until work time. My husband is exact opposite and thinks I am crazy. I am glad I am not the only weirdo!!! So, yeah, being late is one of my biggest phobias!! :) That is SOOOOOOO funny what you said about you would rather be early than late.

You can even go on her website and <a href="http://www.gettingfromcollegetocareer.com/ask-lindsey/" rel="nofollow"> ask Lindsey</a> questions you might not have answers to. Like this one might be a really great question to ask her. Check it out, it's totally worth it.

Being able to talk intelligently about the company and its business can go a long way towards getting you that job.
