Mission #1: Donna Mac Communications Expert CAPTURED!

As I walked towards her home, I wondered if I could get by the guard that protects her headquarters. I wasn’t quite sure what his intention was, but I was sure that I wasn’t going to let his barking keep me from completing my mission. No way. Not when I’d worked so hard to track her down. Today, I would finally meet Donna Mac, an interesting woman with an Donna%20Mac%20BW.JPGunusual and interesting job.  As Donna called off her guard, who “looks” like a friendly little chap, I walked to the building and stepped inside, where she escorted me to her office. Jackpot! I was in Donna Mac’s headquarters!

I have to admit it was an amazing experience to be sitting directly across from “Donna Mac”.  Although, many people have heard her voice, very few of those people have ever seen her. If you’re reading this week’s mission report, you know what she looks like too. Yes, that’s her picture on the left. But, that’s not all. I have also captured her confession,  in her own words. Better yet. You’ll hear her confession in her own voice! That’s right. We’re including an audio broadcast of her confession in this blog posting.  And now for your listening pleasure, I present “Donna Mac”!



What is the name of your company and what kind of services does it provide to its customers?

Most people work because of its financial rewards. If you won the lottery tomorrow, would you quit your job? If you would, what would you do with your time? If you wouldn’t quit your job, why wouldn’t you?

What time do you start working everyday? How many hours a day / week do you work? Do the number of hours that you work make it easier or more difficult to balance your work and personal life?

How would describe a bad day on “the job”? What do you do to relieve the stress that comes with having a bad day?

What do you feel makes you good at your job?

What kind of preparation does someone need to do to pursue a career in your field? Is have a “great voice” a must have?

Tell me about the interviews that you do. Have any interviews(s) had a profound impact on the way you feel about life? Who is the most famous person that you’ve interviewed?

Many people dread going to work everyday. Do you ever wake up thinking that you don’t want to work today?

Tell me something that people don’t know about you.

If someone wanted to contact you, what is the best way to reach you?

Thank You, Donna Mac for being so cooperative during my questioning! It was a pleasure to meet you and hear about your job! We wish you the very best of luck with your career goals! Oh Donna, one more thing. If I get the pleasure of going to your headquarters again, can you give the “guard” the day off that day?
