心灵鸡汤

章节摘录

插图：But eventually my uniqueness worked to my advantage. The doctors andnurses remembered me. And I reversed the negative halo effect by doing the jobbetter than other people. Along with pharmaceuticals,I sold them Girl Scoutcookies and helped the nurses with their makeup. They began to look forward tomy coming ,not just for the novelty,but because we enjoyed such heartwarmingvisits.Within two years,I'd broken numerous sales records and was recognized as aDistinguished Sales Representative,formerly an all-white male club. I was lookingforward to some hard-earned commission checks when suddenly,the companydecided to subdivide the region and hired a handsome blond man to take myplace. He would enjoy the fruits of my labor,while I was reassigned to anotherarea that needed a lot of work. At this point,my dream of that cosmetics careerwith Revlon seemed a million miles away.Discouraged and disenchanted,I picked up and moved to Los Angeles. Thenone Sunday,as I searched longingly through the ads in the Los Angeles Times,there it" was:a classified ad for a regional manager job with Revlon. I lit upcompletely and dove for the phone first thing Monday morning. The voice at theother end said that due to overwhelming response, Revlon was taking no morer~sum~s.I was devastated. But then a dear friend said to me, "Marilyn,I know youaren't going to let this job slip through your fingers. Go on down there anyway. "Suddenly inspired and determined to turn the challenge into an adventure,I drovedown to the Marriott where they were conducting interviews. When I arrived,adesk clerk curtly informed me that there was no way I could get an interview,norwould Mr. Rick English take my resume. I walked away,smiling. At least I nowhad the name of the man I needed to see.
