I live in such a country (you can check other posts and see where I live) and what I&#8217;ve described above is pretty much around every corner.</p><p>Luckily I&#8217;m not too influenced about this, as I think (or hope) that my<strong> personal skills</strong> and <strong>experience </strong>will make a difference anytime. Even if someone would get ahead of me because of his connections then maybe I wouldn&#8217;t want to work in a place where this kind of <strong>behavior </strong>is encouraged.</p><p>So, let&#8217;s see why me and you wouldn&#8217;t want to take a <strong>job not deserved</strong>, or which is not suited to our actual skills:</p><ul><li>In the first day, people under you that know well what they&#8217;re doing will notice immediately your lack of expertize in what you&#8217;re supposed to be doing</li><li>The second day the same people will start making jokes, without even trying to hide this from you</li><li>The third day your boss will ask you why did you take the wrong decision the day before</li><li>The fourth day you&#8217;ll start to hate everyone at work because they read you so well</li><li>The fifth day, Friday, you&#8217;ll have to stay late at night to finish what you&#8217;ve supposed to by Wednesday</li></ul><p>Now I didn&#8217;t find the <em>sixth reason</em>, the one that makes people unqualified for their jobs go th work next Monday. Maybe you can enlighten me.</p><p><div
