The one person that you don't want to lie to is your future employer, but we often will gloss over the truth when we are speaking to them in an interview. Gary is trying to negotiate a few things with the man who will be hiring him. He's trying to set things up so that he has more influence over what he will be doing. Little does he know, he's dealing with someone who knows much more than he thinks he knows. His confidence, however, has not yet been quashed. See if you can guess what happens next and then read, "The Compass Society" to see if you're right!
Book Excerpt
Compass Society
“To begin with, I haven’t been completely informed as to what this job that I’m considering, entails. I know that it has something to do with programming, but I have no idea to what extent you need my abilities. I don’t even know if I’m qualified for this position. I would love to think that I am, but I certainly don’t want to take advantage of such a generous and kind employer as yourself. It would be a shame if I were to begin working for you only to be fired a few months later because I didn’t meet your standards of excellence.”
