[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by croteaudd</i> <br /><br />Nicolo Machiavelli (1469-1527 A.D.) wrote of the political power of APPEARING good and wonderful to the masses in contrast to how one actually might be. (See <i>The Prince</i>, chapter 18) The underlying APPEARANCE concept holds true even with obtaining railroad employment. What one APPEARS to be can work wonders for one, or ruin prospects and close doors to opportunities. Savvy job hopefuls meticulously do their HOMEWORK super well, and way BEFORE an interview. Thus, they shrewdly come to know EVERYTHING that is important to railroad job interviewers, and what turnoffs to avoid. They are then able to successfully (and truthfully) articulate to railroad interviewers exactly what the railroad interviewers want to hear, and APPEAR very desirable, wonderful, and dazzling to them. Making sure one APPEARS favorably to a railroad IS everything in landing a railroad job. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Wasn't he also the guy who wrote "it is better to be feared, than to be loved"?
