Say you live in a country where corruption is still high, and influent people can facilitate you a new job, well above your personal skills. I live in such a country (you can check other posts and see where I live) and what I’ve described above is pretty much around every corner.

Luckily I’m not too influenced about this, as I think (or hope) that my personal skills and experience will make a difference anytime. Even if someone would get ahead of me because of his connections then maybe I wouldn’t want to work in a place where this kind of behavior is encouraged.

So, let’s see why me and you wouldn’t want to take a job not deserved, or which is not suited to our actual skills:

• In the first day, people under you that know well what they’re doing will notice immediately your lack of expertize in what you’re supposed to be doing
• The second day the same people will start making jokes, without even trying to hide this from you
• The third day your boss will ask you why did you take the wrong decision the day before
• The fourth day you’ll start to hate everyone at work because they read you so well
• The fifth day, Friday, you’ll have to stay late at night to finish what you’ve supposed to by Wednesday

Now I didn’t find the sixth reason, the one that makes people unqualified for their jobs go th work next Monday. Maybe you can enlighten me.
