One day last week, Michael Castine, also of Korn/Ferry, said he had received calls from half a dozen senior White House aides "who don't have anything in the hopper yet " He said, "They are loyalists who stayed the course and are not sure what they're going to do."Good luck with that job hunt.
Here is the thing: If you are coming from an employer who had a widely-known reputation for prizing loyalty above competence, then even if you had a high-power job, nobody is going to assume that you have a skill other than in "advanced ass-kissing."
(H/T to Dan Brown)
So far, it seems only one of Bush's former ass kissers has landed a job...managing an Abercrombie & Fitch.
ReplyDeleteyeah... and I see here on your job application that you graduated from a small online christian univerisity with a degree in communications and I'm wondering how that qualified you to be second in command at the Environmental Protection Agency.
