So you have answered the SIX KEY QUESTIONS from episode 2. Well done. Now do this.

In this episode I talk about the importance of thinking about key situations and activities from your adult life and how most people simply don't consider them to be important or relevant to their job search.

In many aspects of life (school, university, charity work, work experience and sports clubs) we have found ourselves in situations where we have used key skills which are useful in the workplace.

I talk about categorizing these experiences into People, Project and Profit. And I suggest lots of questions to ask yourself to get you thinking about these situations and how important they are.

En la antigua Tailandia, una sociedad profundamente jerárquica, los elefantes blancos eran sagrados y pertenecían al rey. Regalar uno a un noble era un gran honor, pero también una forma de control social. Estos animales, al no trabajar, suponían un gran coste, impidiendo a quien los recibía ascender en la jerarquía. Así, el elefante blanco, símbolo de estatus, reforzaba el orden social. Esta metáfora cultural contrasta con la visión occidental del "elefante blanco" como algo inútil y costoso. En este podcast, exploramos el profundo significado jerárquico de esta figura y su relevancia en la cultura tailandesa, incluso hoy. Descubre cómo esta metáfora, con su carga jerárquica, nos ayuda a entender las dinámicas interculturales.
