I am finding this job hunt business an interesting experience in how other people view me and also I guess what is important to the me in the next job I have.
I have been truly amazed at the amount of time people will give you. I mean I have meet CEO’s of some massive Hospital Networks or huge charitable organsisations and on the whole they have given me an hour or so of their time and a bunch of other contacts. I have decided that this is the best barometer of an organisation.
The other weird thing is that they keep referring to me as talent. ekk…. talk about instant pressure to perform. Plus, I can’t help but think of all of those reality TV programs where people strut their stuff only to be completely ravaged by some sort of pseudo-famous people – all in the name of discovering talent.
The MBA puts you in contact with some very bright and completely formidable people. So quite possibly my view of myself is a little bit skewed at the moment. But hey…. It has got to be a good sign to be called talent and at least I am not likely to be ravaged in front of a live studio audience!!
