Aristotle Offers Advice to Job Hunters

Description

If Aristotle were preparing for a job interview today, the guidance he’d find would teach him three things: be sure to trim his beard, make sure his toga was pressed, and leave early to get across town in Athens rush hour traffic to make his appointment on time.

Unfortunately, that level of advice would set Aristotle up for failure – while his own theories of persuasion and human psychology would dramatically boost his chances of success.

“Despite the vast amount of how-to advice for job seekers, there’s a lack of substantive guidance on ways to strategically position yourself – from a self-marketing standpoint – in order to persuade others,” notes Mark N. Clemente, author of the new e-workbook, Winning Through the Art of Words, which is based on 2,500-year-old principles of classical rhetoric.

“The fact is, Aristotle’s strategies give job hunters and others everything they need to know to succeed in ‘communication-critical’ situations like interviews and other face-to-face encounters involved in landing a new job or transitioning to a whole new career path,” Clemente adds.
