achievers are often quiet, bluffers are the opposite.
Observation 2
corporate Australia will hire the noisiest candidate, especially if they make unrealistic promises to triple the size of the business in 6 weeks, or whatever.
Observation 3
Once hired, they’ll maximise the damage to an organisation to prove they are ‘having an impact’ and will move onto their next job just before they are found out or asked to deliver on their promise.
Observation 4
Australian recruitment is rooted.
Usually followed by absolute disaster and when interviewed a few months later they say "It was fine while I was there"....... Kind of the reverse of James Strong coming into Qantas on a wave of b-ll****, the float occurs, the Commonwealth making good on its promise to BA when they paid a premium to not buy into a capital starved business, provides a $1.1BN capital injection to QF which allows it to retire nearly all its debt (which wasn't much) and most of TN's (which was substantial), then surprise, surprise the profit increases exponentially the next FY because there's no debt repayments - and guess who takes credit for turning the place around, while neglecting to mention that 'little' cash injection.......
