My father is one of the largest scholastic books and electronic suppliers in the world. Most if not all schools know his company, which shares the same name as my surname (hence the fake name for this blog to protect the innocent if there is any).
Picture this me sitting at an interview for this job and right before the school principal tells me that I am not qualified in any way for this position they conveniently realize whose child I am. Now since this particular school supplies roughly 75% directly with my family’s company how could they turn me down?! Pretty fucking genius right?! Ok now I know the word extortion may come to mind for some of you reading this, which I do not take lightly at all, but I think that is a little overdramatic. I just think it is resourcefulness and smart business. Plus it still did not guarantee I would get the job, it was just my Ace in the hole.
I have always admired people who have worked their way up the capitalist ladder in this country, those wonderful “rags to riches” stories you often hear about. Men like Andrew Carnegie, Donald Trump, Tony Montana, and Scrooge Mc Duck defied odds and used whatever resources they had to overcome obstacles.
I believe in using whatever resources available to you moral or immoral. Do you think for one instance that Uncle Scrooge wouldn’t turn Huey, Dewey, or Louie into pate if they threatened his cash flow? We all know what Scarface did with his obstacles, he sprayed them full of lead. And when the going got tough for Donald he started a reality show.
This may not be the most moral way to do things, but I can live with myself. I mean it’s not really what you know its who you know. Did you know that roughly 70% of people polled in a recent study stated they obtained a job through some form of social networking. I am totally making this shit up, but it sounds good doesn’t it?
