The Way about a Headhunter's World
“Get in swiftly and get out swiftly.”
That was the advise the King left her.
Sounds easy but for one with a phone phobia and who lives like a spy as her source of livelihood, she is made to confront her fear squarely in the face.
Recently, she was wondering if she would ever do good in her profession. She has stopped being a rising star of the firm as she has run out of tricks. A charlatan, she deems herself as she weaves her way through life. She thinks she is almost at the stage of being exposed…
And she lacks the will to continue with her act these days. She grows weary...
P has resigned to fate that she would most likely never be able to make a living out of her artisitc passions. After all, they don’t pay very well and she isn’t too good either. And she is a capitalist through and through.
Again, she retreats into her darker moods and thinks of new ways to strategise and “package” her being and new ways to make money.
****
Today, she again confessed to Dope (since communications resume and professional banter continues) the frustrations she feels at work.
Apparently, she is working with the best of the best veterans in the field and the no.1 global firm.
Still, she is no longer challenged and she is working with the best. So where else could she go?
It didn’t help to find out that she and her old team were deemed being paid above the market. With the new merger, she would see less of bonuses but perhaps more of other perks in the way of small overseas trip.
But cash is king in her opinion.
She wondered if she had missed the boat with Dubai where the money would be better and where she would also get to travel. Such a great deal!!!
****
And guess what? She just received a call.
A headhunter’s call!
Apparently, P realised she has a reputation in the market. And nonetheless a positive one!!!!
The man on the other end of the line insisted that he knows of her background. So typical, all due diligence done.
The case of a headhunter being headhunted!!!!
Ah, such ironies of life when one thinks that one is going downhill and surprise, surprise!!!
****
Funny, a fortune teller has mentioned to her earlier this year that she might be headhunted!
So is it all fated to be?
