Subject: RE: Proof triathlon is good for your careerInteresting... My bosses (a married couple ) both have done multiple marathons (she's in the 5-6 hour range, he's a bit slower ) and the fact that she took an interest in my marathoning and IM training when I was working for one of their clients was one key to my getting hired by them when my old company laid me off. OTOH... We're looking for an independent-contractor brand manager now and my wife recommended someone who'd been laid off from her company. That person is a serious triathlete and swimmer (I know her, too, from that context and think she'd be a great hire ). After talking to her a couple times on the phone, though, the husband seemed to keep mentioning the apparent demands on her time from her training. May just be looking for an excuse to hire someone cheaper that they already know, but kind of a double standard, it seems. |
