What Color Is Your Parachute 2018 by Richard N. Bolles copy

Daniel Porot subsequently took John’s system, and organized it. He
observed that John was really recommending three types of interviews, as I
noted in chapter 4:
Interviews for employment.
But preceded, necessarily, by interviewing just for information, which
—among other things—is a warm-up for employment interviews.
And this was preceded by practice interviewing, which—among other
things—is a warm-up for information interviews.
Each type of interview prepares for the next; and there you have it: a
three-stage plan, for overcoming shyness.
Daniel, who has been Europe’s premiere job-hunting expert for decades,
organized this into an attractive and well-thought-out chart; and gave it its
now famous name: “The PIE Method,” which has helped thousands of jobhunters
and career-changers all around the world with their shyness and
with their job-hunt. 3
Why is it called “PIE”?
P is for the warm-up phase. John Crystal named this warm-up “The
Practice Field Survey.” Daniel Porot calls it P for pleasure.
I is for “Informational Interviewing.”
E is for the employment interview with the-person-who-has-thepower-to-hire-you.
