THE PROFESSIONALS' COMMENT BANK
On the website, you will find a large collection of comments, experiences,
and advice from many working pros who took the time to sit down and share
their knowledge with you. They were honest, straightforward, and in some
cases quite humorous. Many of the clips are referenced in chapters where
they are particularly appropriate, but it is worth your time to view
everything they have to say. Most of the clips are around a minute long. We
have tried to guide you with an appropriate title or question for each
clip, so you will know to what each pro is responding. If you start at the
first clip and go through them in order, you will get most of the
interview.
