That's awesome, congratulations. Just another example of how PUA can benefit other areas of your life.

Good point, and congratulations on the job!!!
Hired you on your mojo!! That is really cool.

My story: I had to give a presentation to get the job.
I rehearsed and rehearsed and when I was sick of rehearsing I rehearsed some more. I found that when giving the presentation I was not only better at it, but I could pay attention to body language and IOIs.

One guy was sitting back with his arms crossed so I asked him to look at page 5 of the notes I gave him. He leaned forward and became involved!

I never, ever thought about how it was similar to being in set!!

I love this site sometimes.

Haha thats brilliant man!

You took a risk and it payed off! Respect! Fear is what holds too many of us back. But you had a plan, went for it and succeeded. You did many what most people can't. You deserve it.

Whats the new type of job? If you dont mind me asking. It sounds good.

Sorry diablo but I don't think going out sarging can make you a
better skilled worker or give you any experience whatsoever
in your field of work. I do understand it can make you a more
sociable and pleasing for the interview, but people are not looking just for that in a candidate.

you don't know what field I work in arkangel.

sales.

and what is getting laid? selling yourself.

now, how can you say "this isn't going to work."
...WHEN IT ALREADY WORKED.

@arkangel just sounds like a hater.

Sales is an excellent comparison with PU, and the sarging
can help you refresh many concepts used on sales.
I remember I went through a hiring process early this
year for a Sales Management position. The exam presented
me with an incredible amount of sales situations that could
be very well adapted to PU. To bad I couldn't steal the exam
for this purpose.
Unfortunately I didn't get the job b/c the position was already
given out. Bastards, they could have told me that from the beginning and
I wouldn't have lost about 5 precious hours of my life!!!

Anyway, I thought this post was going to be about tips on getting
a new job, how to make your resume better or things like that. Guess
I'll have to find another thread.
