Do You Check All the Boxes

Do You Check All the Boxes

Do You Check All the Boxes?  Oh no, in the past, this was the last question we needed to ask because traditionally, it's all about CHECKLIST and nothing more.  So, if we see the Airbus/Boeing pilots go through the routine checklist prior to takeoff, that was nothing but routine.  But a myriad of things have evolved and changed over time such that this is one of the most favorite questions we would get confronted, be it in school, at work, in our relationships and in business initiatives.

If you're  jobseeker, the interview would seem boring as the hiring manager would likely ask about your civil status amongst others but before you know it, he rattles off a marathon list of questions generally answerable by YES or NO.  Yet as you remain oblivious, that hiring process seems to be running on a fast lane because that exercise will end up with the answer to the question if you have checked all the boxes

So, please DON'T get dumbfounded if the end result in life is either a PASS or FAILED because that's what the exercise is all about. A battalion of jobseekers need to be pruned down to a final shortlist before the 'hands down' choice gets to be 'anointed'.  Oh, we do admit that awaiting a 'verdict' is the most taxing experience but here's some tricks so that the 'wait' does not become an agony.

BTW, that question if you do CHECK ALL THE BOXES is not limited to the job hiring process.  You or someone else finding his/her lifetime partner will surely have that CHECKLIST as well and if it happens you're awaiting the 'verdict' so to speak, to soften the impact of a result that 'thumbs you down', figure out how you can get hold of do that checklist for you to CHECK ALL THE BOXES.  Up front, you can do a SELF-ASSESSMENT if you do fail at that stage, think about it if you still want to pursue it.

In a nutshell, frustrations of having failed to CHECK ALL THE BOXES can be averted or avoided 90% of the time if you did run that SELF-ASSESSMENT because if you failed that SELF-ASSESSMENT, why be stubborn and insist to pursue that attempt if things seem to point at a square peg in a round hole?  Being pragmatic and more accepting of the realities in life will likely lead you towards a life of significantly LESS FRUSTRATIONs even if you DON'T CHECK ALL THE BOXES❗❗❗
