How to Get Hired

Captain Abrashoff wondered why he was hired in the first place. The answer he received from his higher-ranking officer:

"I have been in both government and business for over forty years. I can hire the smartest people around. But I have found what works the best is a staff that works together and backstops each other. The staff decided that you were the one they could work with the best."

I think that includes keeping cool under pressure. Work and play are filled with conflict. People are drawn to those who handle it with confidence and a smile.
