Here’s what I suggest:

The Boosters

Keep containers of protein powder, dry oatmeal, raisins, almonds, and instant coffee mixed with a small amount of baking soda (to reduce the acid and your urgency) in your car. Take a fresh banana, too. These are high-octane additives in the potion.

Also keep a bottle of water, a 6 oz. plastic cup, and a plastic spoon.

Keep a bottle of your favorite mouthwash in the car as well.

Other Snacks

You can add any other snacks, as long as they’re unprocessed, natural, and lean.

Packages of peanut-butter sandwich crackers, high-protein bars—things like that. Just be sure they’re items that won’t spoil or become gooey if the weather is hot.

Lunch Ideas

Plan what you’ll eat for lunch the night before. The food doesn’t have to be elaborate, and you don’t have to spend hours shopping.

Stock your refrigerator with whole-wheat bread, lean sliced chicken or turkey, low-fat cheese slices, lettuce, sliced pickles (if you like them), and low-fat spreads. That way you can make a high-nutrition sandwich in minutes the night before, slip it in a sandwich bag, put it back in the refrigerator, and you’re ready to rock after taking the potion (or packing it to take after your workout at the jobgym).

Foods to Avoid

Onion (ergo no relish or salsa), garlic, and cheese. They smell. And so will you if you consume them.

If you’re unable to get back to your car for lunch, opt for a light meal. Whole-wheat sandwiches, salads, and nothing that has a diuretic effect. (You don’t want to interview instantly in restrooms since the seating arrangement is problematic.)

Rinse out with the mouthwash before you leave your car-office.

Try this and you’ll be zoomin’ through those buildings like a buzzsaw all day!

Do 4: Breaking Out of the Box—Job E-X-P-A-N-S-I-O-N

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands!

Let’s keep you working there and get you a promotion. More responsibility, more pay, bigger title.

This Do’s for you.

For half a century, the federal and state governments have been issuing underemployment statistics.

Why are we paying for this? Is there any employee who can’t have more responsibilities? Who can’t be worth more? Isn’t the number underemployed 100 percent?

Our statistic is 100 percent, too—100 percent success in expanding any job. Why? Because a j-o-b is a b-o-x. Just a container. An arbitrary limitation that our commonsense, politically correct system expands. You’re a jack-in-the-box! We all are.

Viktor Frankl, the brilliant author who wrote Man’s Search for Meaning, observed over half a century ago, “We don’t know we’ve been in prison until we break out.”

With the publication of Instant Interviews, underemployment will be dramatically reduced. All it takes is adapting our system. The result is an advanced instant interviewing technique.

It works 100 percent of the time because—it works!

The greatest benefit of job e-x-p-a-n-s-i-o-n is the maintenance of absolute job security throughout. It’s using what you’ve got to get what you want. Not empire building, but value-adding—acquiring more responsibility that’s worth more.

Every job (and every wage) can be expanded. Easily up to 40 percent if you do it right. We do this by isolating expandable areas called job components. Each is worth 10 percent. The more components, the more e-x-p-a-n-s-i-o-n.

Think of your job as a profit center. What do you contribute to the bottom line? How can you increase that contribution?

We’ll call you “Jack.” Let’s say you’re in middle management with the title of cost estimator. You take engineering mockups of mechanical switches and determine what they will cost to produce. The company manufactures the switches directly, primarily because it wants to maintain quality control for tight tolerances in the materials. That also eliminates any delivery problems.

How can you make your job more profitable? One way may be to outsource the manufacturing instead of doing it in-house. There are subcontractors who can do
