So tomorrow heralds my first day at work. The culmination of 4 months of hard lobbying and chasing. As a record I did this through an amazing network of friends and colleagues.
It’s poetic justice that just today, for the first time since I started applying for jobs on a certain media title’s website here in Asia, I received a ‘thank you for submitting your resume email’.
Good people grow good jobs. Experience counts, networks count. But what counts most of all is REAL HUMAN CONTACT – or RHC as I will call it. The reality is it’s what we got by on for the past few thousand years before web 2.0 pulled up in its big A Team van and reclaimed conversation through the fingertips and not the mouthpiece.
Aaahhh technology, the sweet sound of inflated EPS and borrowed time, the clashing of the small person with the big idea and the big company with the small mind.
With tech, be careful what you wish for. The best we can hope for technologies that enable us to be human… not the other way round.
