Once upon a time (actually not so ancient) there was a man with a title interviewed one of my friends for a job interview as an officer of a company. Neither the person in charge for the Board nor the person who got to smuggle his resume assumed what actually a career position that he applied for.
Frankly speaking, job vacancies exist during economic bubbles or turbulences whereby the niche job market is also a presumption by the people at the strategic apex.
It came to a surprise to have the interview session started from 12 noon until 8 p.m. to such an extent that the interviewee had got to be sent home by the 1st Secretary of the Company.
He got the job the next day without further "ado". To many people this would be a joy to celebrate and thankful for. But to him, there was no such thing as true happiness as he was so astonished with the interviewer that he was not able to accept the letter of offer pre-signed by the nearly defunct HR Head of Department.
Again... quite complicated a person he was but before the removal of successful candidate was being made by the Company, not a single person ever asked what had made that particular person astonished during that interview session.
Again... methaphor was used which challenged my critical thinking during the time whereby his phones were ringing presumeably for attending further interview sessions in another establishments.
What did he say that astonished you? Everybody would ask the same question. "He said that he has found his coin by the seaside during a financial trip in an island".
So many questions I asked which would challenge again his art of critical thinking. He never answered me. Beyond interview session is not the same with off balance sheet events as I rebutted in that critical debate which stemmed from the coin.
To my astonishment, he said that the interviewer found his coin there and wanted to form an offshore company there and wished that company to become a financial centre.
Eh hello...I told my friend that I also found a coin by the side of a Ferrari and that coin was such an insult for me because it was not enough to even pay a GST portion for my telco top up. What the heck in the world that you have to forego a lucrative job offer when you know the person who found that coin could make you a person with better career and pay (not payable by coins of course).
The next morning he called me and he said, "if you found your coin, perhaps you would become successful".
After a few years now, my friend never quit his job and never job hopping. Perhaps he hasn't found his coin yet.
After years gone by, at this very moment, I have a different view about what has been said as an "astonished coin" because I have a coin in particular which I will keep it as a gift from someone special in my life. I never underestimate people's view about coins. I am starting to realise that if you don't have, say 10¢ coin, you won't be able to get your 1,000,000 amount in full, will you?
I love my coin. This will make our current Prime Minister cry again if he never found his coins in his savings.
What's your coin?
