Make room - here comes the gift.

I am mid-level management; I conduct dozens of interviews. I meet all kinds of people: those who think their affected diction and the country of origin of their educcational certificates equates competence, and the ones who think the scribbled note on the powerful complimentary card is enough qualification. I also meet the ones who clearly have a gift and it is to them that I am not only willing to engage but to bend backwards and if possible a few rules to secure their services.

Many things can open doors for you, but it is only your own demonstrated gifting and competence that will keep the door open.

When a gifted man begins to make his way everyone shouts 'make room - here comes the gift'.
