Last week I had a 22 year old school drop-out applying for a CFO role that we advertised. His most recent jobs include stacking shelves at a local grocery store, 4 months as a sales assistant at Radio Shack and 8 months as a truck driver.
When I asked him what relevant qualifications, skills and experience he had he replied that he was great at math in school and that he’s a real go-getter. He also added that he figured a Chief Financial Officer’s role couldn’t be too hard with a sophisticated calculator and that he likes to aim high.
He aimed high alright!

A window to life, opinions, thoughts, unorthodoxy and survival of the dumbest
What you might find...
Welcome to my little corner of cyberspace. This is the place where I share my own opinions and news of what's happening in my tumultuous life. I welcome constructive comments and opinions but not from those who only seek to fashion a negative forum with foul language.
Much enjoyment!

About Me
- Patrik
- Canberra, Australia
- After a 25 year working life, I have been fortunate to have already enjoyed three successful careers. I guess you could say that my fourth career is being a parent to three bright kids, which has, and continues to be, the most challenging and rewarding of all. Having matured and got different perspective on things, it is now time for me to tick of something major on my personal bucket list - completing a Doctoral degree.
