Run Arnold, Run?
As the saying goes “only in America.” Only in America can a foreign born, naturalized citizen even think of delaring himself a candidate for an office running the 5th largest economy in the world.Arnold Schwarzenegger announced last week that he is going to run for governor of the great state of California.
The lesson here is that if you want to change careers because you don’t like the way someone is performing their job just announce that you want the job. All you have to say is "I don't like the way you are doing your job and I want to take over!"
Picture this! You're sitting in the stands of your favorite football stadium. The quarterback fumbles the ball for a 10-yard loss. During the huddle you run onto the field, pat the QB on the butt and tell him "hit the pine pal, I don't like the way you are doing your job and I want to take over!" There you are standing on the field in all your nakedness, no helmet, no pads and no experience, but you can handle it.
How about this idea? Walk into a hospital, scrub up, put rubber gloves on, walk into the operating room and tell the brain surgeon "I don't like the way you are doing your job and I want to take over!" Just imagine the surgeon handing you the scalpel and scampering out of the operating room.
Maybe your favorite fantasy is to take over your boss’ job. You go to see him, blow by the secretary, kick the door open and say to your boss "I don't like the way you are doing your job and I want to take over!" Just be careful of this one when it comes time for your annual review, if you are still employed by then!
I know what you're thinking. "But LLO, I don't have the qualifications to do some of the jobs I'd really like to do." Fear not my friends. I know headhunters that offer the following advice: "Look for anything in your background that will help you qualify for the career in which you are interested."
Based on that criterion, let's look at the qualifications of two of the candidates running for California's governor, Arnold and Gary Coleman. Arnold's main qualification is that he married into a political dynasty and Gary Coleman used to be chauffeured around town in a limousine with Willis. Now there are two great resume builders.
I’m sure you can find some of those resume builders in your background. So go build your resume and take the dream job you’ve always wanted.
Whew! Now I feel better. Let's get back to work before someone decides to take our jobs!
