In this edition of “Inside The Interview” I spoke to Peter Maglathlin, Co-Founder of Hourly Nerd, an online platform that connects freelance MBA’s with small to large-size businesses.

Persistence and enthusiasm are two big characteristics Maglathlin looks for in sales people, as well as a proven track record of working very hard. Don’t forget your sense of humor, though, as the ability to separate work and play, and keep a lighthearted disposition, are all key factors to being successful in a startup environment.

Hear all this – and more – from Maglathlin himself as he shares interview tips and advice on making a lasting impression on your hiring manager.
