Ep. 40 Landing the Job Series - Part 3: Tom Wallace of KK&W on How to Be Seen As the Future Ambassdor of a Club

Are you someone who has been struggling with the interview process for a managerial postion? Do you feel overwhelmed at times by the entire process and unsure of how to improve? 

Today we get to spend time with someone who has been a part of these processes for the last 10+ years. We are joined by Tom Wallace of the search firm, Koplin, Kuebler and Wallace. 

Tom's experience and insight, not just with KK&W, but also as the former General Manager at Oakmont Country Club is a valuable asset to anyone who is looking to prepare for an interview process. 

In our time with Tom, we discuss: 

Why Tom feels some candidates are a better fit for some jobs than others and how you can position yourself to find your best fit.

What quality Tom feels young employees are most often looking for in the people they work for.

What are the controllables you need to pay attention to as you enter the board room for the interview.

What is something you likely aren’t doing, but must start doing in an interview to learn if the job will be a fit for you.

What ability, more than teaching or playing, search committees are placing a greater emphasis on over the last 10+ years.

What business Tom feels golf professionals are really in these days.

What is the one thing Tom feels is hard for most people to do, but is also the thing that will lead to most of your personal and professional growth.
