B
A large advertisement appeared on the financial page of a New York newspaper calling for a person with unusual ability and experience. Charles T. Cubellis answered the advertisement, sending his reply to a box number. A few days later, he was invited by letter to call for an interview.
Before he called, he spent hours in Wall Street finding out everything possible about the person who had founded the business. During the interview, he remarked: "I should be very proud to be associated with an organization with a record like yours. I understand you started twenty-eight years ago with nothing but a desk room and one assistant. Is that true?"
Almost every successful person likes to recall his early struggles. Alice, the boss was no exception. She talked with smile about how she had started with $ 450 in cash and an original idea. She told how she had fought against discouragement, working on Sundays and holidays, twelve to sixteen hours a day; how she had finally won and until now, the most important executives on Wall Street were coming to her for information and guidance. She was proud of such a record. She had a right to be, and she had a wonderful time telling about it. Finally, Alice questioned Mr Cubellis about his experience, then called in her assistant and said! "I think this is the person we are looking for."
Mr Cubellis had taken the trouble to find out about the past of his future employer. He showed an interest in the other person and his problems. He encouraged the other person to do most of the talking and made a favorable impression.
Most people trying to win others in their own way of thinking do too much talking them-selves. Let the other people talk themselves out. They know more about their business and problems than you do.
24. What did Charles T. Cubellis do before the interview?
A. He telephoned the top leader of the company.
B. He searched for information about the boss of the company.
C. He prepared for some questions that might be asked.
D. He got detailed information about the company's plan.
