Preparing for an interview
I am very excited that I’ve moved on through 3 interviews to the final interview for a role I know I would rock.
Two part question:
My soon to be boss is someone I’ve known professionally for 2+ years and I had hired him as a consultant. That project wrapped and he’s taken a new role and I would be reporting to him. We have already met and we would make a great team. I’m getting ready to meet his colleagues (a level up from this role but we would be working closely together). Would it be appropriate to ask him if there is anything I should know when prepping for this interview? Or is that blurring the lines professionally?
He mentioned the follow and EOS business plan and strategy. I’ve tried to research, but can someone explain in plain language what these rocks mean? Just want to be sure I’m fully understanding this business strategy.
Thanks! And I’ll take all your good juju for 2/1!

I have been an Executive Assistant for 25 years.
Ever since the Pandemic and the Election, everything is only contracted roles- or at least most of them. I am out of unemployment because I exhausted my benefits in between contracted roles and can’t file a new claim until the 2nd of June…

As a job searcher, I love that people are sharing roles with their network on LinkedIn but the only problem is that when I've applied for that position, it opens up the candidate pool.
I've been seeking those independent roles in order to avoid the hundreds of applications. Then I see the role shared by someone outside the company and immediately the numbers spike in terms of at least interested candidates This has happened in more than one occasion and…

Annual performance reviews and raises
The company I work for was acquired 9/2024. With this company, reviews and raises were on the anniversary of hire date. The new company reviews everyone in the spring in two parts; the review and the raise separately. From what I understand, the raise will be 'prorated' if your last raise…

EOS = Entrepreneurial Operating System. Comes from Gino Wickman's book Traction. I *strongly* suggest purchasing and reading the book prior to the interview. There's a lot online you can read as well to supplement your learning, but companies that use EOS all read and integrate what they learn from Traction. Many companies hire consultants or trainers certified in the principles from Traction to implement EOS into their business. Good luck on the interview!

You may want to google an EOS business plan and strategy but that just covers a general business plan and strategy but each organization has an EOS customized to their service and/or plan.
I would ask your friend what the mission statement is for the organization. That is a major piece of the puzzle and go from there...
