Corporate Dreams

Dear Andrew
I don’t know who you are and who you represent but you didn’t make an impression. You came to me for an interview, and looked rather impressive in your business suit, confident, smiling and not too cocky. You sat down in my office as I had instructed. Then when I introduced you to my team for that all important interview, and the guest interviewer was a woman from hell, that was your cue to say something instead of looking around for someone else to take over. If you wanted a role on my team, you had to be vocal and stand up to that corporate witch. And when I directed questions at you, and called you repeatedly by name, you should have sold yourself instead of looking around like a lost puppy.
Therefore I inform you that you have not been successful for the position. Shame, you would have made good eye candy, albeit a bit too young eye candy for my liking. I wish you well and hope you grow up into something more since looks alone wrapped in a business suit don’t make a man.
Yours Sincerely
Ms Cléa B. Mused

PS But you’re welcome back into my dreams anytime. Next time say something more than just your name, will you?

So the cute puppy look wasn’t a selling point for you?

I was told at a job interview one time that I “intimidated” some of the interviewers. When I get passionate or nervous about anything, I think my gaze becomes a more intense. Oddly enough, the only person on the panel of three people not intimidated was a woman in her early forties. I didn’t get the job. In retrospect, if they were that easily cowed, I would probably not do well there.

I take it Accounting doesn’t have a category for, “Executive Gigolo.”

I love that it’s a shame he won’t join your team because he would’ve made good eye candy!! Way to set your priorities straight!!

So he didn’t get the job but he got an invite into your dreams? I’m confused - did this guy simultaneously win and lose?

Kami: Absolutely not. It loses points, and I’m not running a kindergarten (though it feels like it at times!)
Casey: I think you’re right. I was told after an interview why I didn’t get the job and why they gave it to someone less experienced. It was because they thought I was too ambitious for the role. Like you, I would not have fitted in their culture.
Zen: Not just Accounting, though I know some people who would gladly apply for the role of Executive Gigolo, and they already have a good head start in brown nosing. Er… that doesn’t read right!
EM: Well, eye candy at work makes the day goes faster… but can be so distracting if he’s drop dead gorgeous!
GSR: Not quite, this was a dream. I didn’t give him the job but I wouldn’t have minded if he came back for a dream of a different kind!

What about a cute puppy look but is able to hunt, guard and otherwise do everything else independently, responsibly without digging holes in the garden?

Kamigoroshi: No chance. As a sufferer of canine phobia, I’d ask for it to be put down, which is pretty much what I did with this guy’s application in my dream. Hehe…

(skipped the latest post cuz I haven’t seen “Sex in the City” yet)
LOL, yep, sometimes it takes more than just looks. MUCH more.
… but he could have been a good errand boy. LOL

LB: (good idea… though I’d be most interested in your opinion after you’ve seen it)
Ooh I like the way you think!
To be honest, it doesn’t have much appeal to me to have an errand boy. I find intellect a turn on
