From Shake to $hake

The deft use of one’s words creates the means for earning a lifetime of respect, being heard, getting in, and getting hired. 

The generation that switched from talk to text, GenText, is primed to give and receive information in a highly efficient format: “text speak.” Here’s the rub: articulate storytelling and “professional speak” are the way applicants and candidates get noticed, be it a college, grad school, internship, or job interview. 

Through twenty-two short, easily digested blogs, From Shake to $hake shares the rules of interviewing and demonstrates how to own and articulate your skills and then tell a compelling story to reinforce your message. 

Based on Elaine Rosenblum’s multidisciplinary career in business, law, and education, years as both interviewee and interviewer, and the lessons learned from students and clients, her second installment in the GenText series, From Shake to $hake, shares key interviewing insight in “snackable” blogs. 

Reads one blog, read them all, or read it back to front. You can put it down and come back for advise anytime. 

Often quoted on Forbes.com for her expertise in improving communication in the workplace, Elaine Rosenblum is the founder of ProForm U and cofounder of Access Test Prep & Tutoring.
