Hiring Dean
In follow-up to my post on Which US President Ran A State Smaller in Population than Howard Dean?, I was thinking some more about Dean's desired promotion.
The US population is 290 million, and Vermont's is 608,000.
Dean was Governor of Vermont and now wants to be President of the United States.
That's 500 times larger than anything he's run before. If you were a hiring manager, would you go to your boss and say about your new recruit --"Sure, it's 500 times the responsibility s/he's had before, but this is the right person for the job!" ?
Or, put anothe way, would you ever accept a job that was 500 times bigger than your last one? It might sound fun, but is that really a smart career move?
Write in to me at news AT cenedella D0T com with your (polite, reasoned, coherent) thoughts!
Trolls and flames from either side of the aisle blissfully ignored!
Thanks!
