Being “Assertive” in Job Interviews by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2010 I received a note from someone that said: “I was told I was not assertive enough in an interview I just had.

And what does being “assertive” really mean? One nice result of this encounter, is that the employer gave an honest critique that most people are n... |
