2. do those things, then go to step 1

if you can follow those two steps congrats, you're literally more effective than 50% of the office work force

Take business management courses at a community college.

Takes 2 years in USA. Can be done in 1.5 years in Canada.

If you live outside either of those countries just kys.

Here have him buy u a course at detailed.com for SEO that’s pretty much all u need to know, or jobkilling.com for lead gen

Relax. People like to invest in people. Don’t worry about walking in knowing everything. Sounds like he sees potential in you, not for your qualifications but for the way you think. That is more common than you would ever imagine. Rarely does anybody get hired off qualification, that’s not what he is giving you the job for. You’ll start to understand this more as you’re older. You’d be shocked how retarded people are in general.
More importantly, you want to work on building logical arguments and logical thinking. That will enable you to tackle any problem, digital marketing included. Don’t worry so much about how to maximize digital marketing at this point, start to think for yourself - why is digital marketing important? What is the goal of digital marketing (obvious answer)? How do you maximize value for him? How do you start to track success? How do you define success? What are the goals of the business? I’m not throwing buzzwords at you. Spend your time thinking about how you articulate a strategy, and the execution of that strategy will come naturally.

No problem kid. I am sort of like you, shit family grew up poor and I am now 25 and work in fortune 100 after somebody took a chance on me. It’s a lot to take in, and that’s understandable. You are best suited with building your logical thinking skills. Start with “in a perfect world, here is what success looks like for this role”. He should be able to help you define what that success looks like. Once you have a “North Star” so to speak to go towards, work backward from there. This is called a top down approach. Once you have your high level goals in place, create action plans. These action plans are where you can focus in on delivering those goals. This works because if you stick to the mission you can always follow the logical path of why certain plans are going to benefit. That’s going to help you the most, and it’s a skill that will help you with many different things in life, not just this job. Wish you the best of luck kid, you are smart to see the opportunity and want to capitalize on it.

I am open to the guy, how do you think he came to like me? Of course I’ve talked it over with him, he doesn’t do jack shit with SEO on his day to day, this is just one job opening that he has, he doesn’t know the ins and outs of it. He employs hundreds of people. In his mind, it’s just some mindless job that his company has been interviewing over educated buzzword fags & women for, from what it sounds.

That said, I still want to walk in and crush my position, I’ve already consumed a bunch of material about this position all over the internet. I wanted to see if any random biz bros have some good advice, which I did get from the one anon.

This opportunity was literally a luck of the draw. The stars aligned, something opened up that will likely never happen again. I’m retarded, but I’m a smart enough retard to see a great opportunity when it comes along. People scramble like little bitches around this guy all over the golf club, everyone knows who he is, everyone wants a seat at his table. He took a liking to me, I take him as he is and never scrambled like a silly faggot, I never knew who he was.

The complaints boomers have about zoomers are pretty consistent:
>lazy
>no critical thinking or problem solving skills
>react poorly to criticism
>no enthusiasm
Irrespectivd of whether these truly apply to you or not, your behaviour and choices in this job should be tailored to outperforming other people your age in these four areas.
>lazy
turn up 10 minutes early, always volunteer for tasks, finish deadline projects at least 24 hours early
>critical thinking
always try to figure things out yourself and when you go to ask for help, show at least 2 things you've tried to resolvd the issue
>criticism
practice acknowledging that critical people have a point, even if you think they're jist being 'mean'. If you get criticism, close the loop - 'so you think i've done a poor job of this website blurb? That's probsbly fair...' then follow it up with a suggestion to address the issue. This also ties into boomee banter which can seem harsh or tone deaf (laugh it off)

You say thank you, ask what classes you should enroll in first, then show him your dedicated by doing whatever he says as well as you possibly can. You also show dedication and drive by learning everything you can on your time without being asked. Say thank you while looking him in his eyes. This is possibly a once in a life event that can change your life forever so you need to show ability to learn, act on what you learn and produce results. If this isn't a larp then you hit the jackpot because old riches giving out jobs to young nobodies is not going to be a thing much longer.
