In the staffing industry many people have the wrong motives for what they are doing. I believe what we do changes lives, everyday and it inspires me to do my personal best for every client. On this Friday, I thought I would share a story of how sometimes in life a NO can be the best thing that ever happened! Happy Friday readers!
This a story worth sharing from LinkedIn: (post originally by
Malik Jahangir,
Assistant Accountant)
A jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at
Microsoft.
The HR manager interviewed him, then gave him a test: clean
the floor. The man passed the test with flying colors.
"You are hired," HR manager informed the
applicant, "give me your e-mail address, and I'll send you the application
for employment, as well as the date you should report for work.
The man replied " I don't have a computer, or an
email!"
"I'm sorry," said the HR manager. "If you
don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And we cannot hire persons
who do not exist."
The man was very disappointed.
He didn't know what to do. He only had $10 with him. Once
that is spent, he won't have any money to buy any food.
He went to the supermarket and bought a crate of tomatoes
with his $10.
He went from door to door and sold the tomatoes in less than
two hours. He doubled his money.
He repeated the operation three times, and returned home
with $60. He realized that he can survive
this way. He started to go everyday earlier, and return
late.
He doubled or tripled his money every day. Soon, he bought a
cart, then a truck. In a very short time, he had his own fleet of delivery
vehicles.
Five years later, the man became one of the biggest food
retailers in the U. S. He started to plan his family's future, and decided to
have a life insurance.
He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.
At the end of the conversation, the broker asked him for his
email address.
The man replied: ' I don't have an email.'
The broker was dumbfounded. "You don't have an email,
and yet have succeeded in building an empire. Can you imagine what you could
have been if you had an email?," he exclaimed.
The man thought for a while, and replied, "an office
boy at Microsoft!"
If you just lost your Job or Just failed an Interview Don't
worry be Optimistic..... Good days are on the way and something better is
reserved for you. -
