you however, that this is neither ecologically nor environmentally sound. Nor very nice, since the least you can do is clean up in exchange for a Bigbucks interviewing office.

Hold your hand over the handwritten name.

You can do this. Yo mama wud jes laff!

Execute the Grab

The classic genie technique (Do 1) still works. You just have to appear magically. While they’re standing in line, shaking the sugar, or running out to their cars. You grab with a little offeror opener:

Hi, I’ve seen you here before and wanted to introduce myself.

Excuse me, but I wanted to ask what business you’re in . . . you look very successful!

I see you’re in a hurry, but I just have to ask you . . . how do you like your beautiful Maserati?

In the first example, you go straight into the Magic Four Hello and proceed with the Full Monty. In the second two, you wait for an answer.

Be Fast but Firm

This Do is verbal Quan Do. You’re talking to someone who has major responsibilities (he thinks), hasn’t had his coffee (you know), and hasn’t read his paper (now probably won’t get the chance).

So be fast but firm. You want to say something like:

I’d really like to be around someone successful like you. Is there anything you can have me do to show you how dedicated I am to succeeding? I just need a chance.

Stop and think about this for a moment now (not while he’s instant interviewing you).

You’re a bigbucks bigwig. Someone wants to learn from you. Wants you to be her mentor. Isn’t afraid to approach a total stranger because she’s comfortable enough with herself.

What do you say? “Sure. Give me a call.”

You think you’re still dreaming.

So give and get business cards.

This is how you can grab those Bigbucks coffeeors. And how they’ll grab you!

Do 75: Interviewing as an Intern Instantly

An offeror doesn’t really know what interns are but he instantly likes them. So our unofficial definition of an intern is the perfect opener to get instant interviews!

He thinks it’s a student, there to learn—always helpful, reliable, humble, grateful. I used this hook to become a “legal intern” (law clerk). The employer had a hiring freeze but that thawed instantly. I just started an internship program!

The official definition of internship we’ll use for offerors is fixed-term employment. Only they have to ask first. That’s why the intern device is so powerful.

Before I show you how to clinch interviews every time with this device, let’s look at only three questions an offeror really asks. Three numbers that open the combination lock in his mind—and click, you’re in.

Will You Be My Pal?

This is by far the most important question.

It’s not asked that way, of course. It’s asked by:

What types of books do you read?

What are your hobbies?

Where did you go on your last vacation?

By now you’ve learned to pick up cues from the office, then the offeror, so you always answer with what he reads, what he hobs, and where he vacates (Do 41).

Will You Help Me Relax?

We discussed this in reviewing preparation of the rest-you-may (Do 5).

As with the first question, this is not asked that way. It’s just not socially acceptable to admit you’re lazy.

So her questions are:

Do you think you have the experience to do this job?

How would your skills be an asset here?

What areas of our business would you improve?

You counter with some genie (Do 1) version of:

Not to worry. Whatever your little palpitating heart desires.

Now we get to the final question that instinctively grips every offeror.

Am I Taking a Risk with You?

That is rarely verbalized. But every look, every introduction to others is a yearning for that warm, fuzzy, no-risk signal.

Here’s how you warmfuzzy an instant offeror using the basic genie technique.

The Magic Four Hello is followed by the intern intro of:

You: I’m looking for an internship and would love to work here.

He: What do you mean?

You: I’m looking to stay three months and help you in any way I can that will
