When looking for a job – leave your ego, your opinion, and your biases at the door because anything goes…
I’ve (wrongly) assumed for quite a while that senior level jobs (VP level upwards) simply aren’t advertised.
I mean just go look on LinkedIn and there are very few to choose from in Asia.
But a recent conversation with a regional leader has changed my mind and I encourage you to do the same.
When representing an executive looking for a new role I approached the hiring manager but despite positive interaction she basically told me to go look on the job boards of the career page and apply directly.
I reluctantly did so already scathing her under my breath for wasting my time yet lo and behold there were 3 x VP level Commercial roles perfect for my client who has since applied for two of them.
Moral of the story : When you ASSUME anything you make an ASS out of U and ME!
Looking for a new role?
