Advice: Hide Your Cards.

If you were dealt a hand of cards and someone wanted to bet you that they could figure out what you held, what would you do? Would you look at your cards or would you watch the person?
Every time you meet a new person, they look at you (your age, race, gender, speech, education, mannerisms…etc) and try to guess the hand you were dealt. A common rookie mistake is to try to be liked. And they share all of their info. Next thing you know, they’re having troubles with the trainer or the travel agent. “My trainer treats me like dirt!” How did the trainer know that you would allow him to treat you badly? “My dispatcher is always talking down to me and forcing me to ______.” How did the dispatcher know that you would cower down when he got to talking tough? No one can treat any way other than what you allow. How did they know that you would allow bad treatment?

The goal of you taking that job is to be good at what you do, not to win any popularity contests. So, keep your business YOUR BUSINESS. Avoid negative conversations. Avoid conversing with anyone who, within the first five minutes of meeting, starts volunteering employment history. Avoid chronic complainers. Avoid indecisive people. Avoid people who try to push buttons. They will still try to figure out what’s in your hand but won’t have anything to go on other than what they can see. You’ve successfully hidden your cards then. Now be better than what they think you are.

Luck in battle.
