Steve Jobs
A recent dinner conversation with my friend (and fellow ex-coworker) Shannon:
S: So how’s the job hunt going?
E: It’s not. I mean, I’m looking, but there’s not a lot of demand right now. How bout you?
S: Eh. It’s been better. I have some interviews for some HR and Office manager positions. Oh yeah, and there’s the job to be Steve Jobs’ Executive Assistant. But anyway, there’s an Account Coordinator position and…
E: *spits out water* WHAT? Steve Jobs?! Noah Wyle Steve Jobs!?
S: Uh-huh. I don’t know, though. I want to get into Human Resources, though. I’m all about personal growth — you can’t learn much HR as an Exec Admin.
E: (dazed) It’s Steve Jobs.
S: But here’s the funny thing — I told the powers that be that my priorities were getting an HR position at Apple. So guess who leaves me a message on my cellphone? You guessed it. “Shannon, this is Steve. So I hear that I’m second in line for HR Positions here at Apple. Call me on the cell.” Heh.
E: (dazed) It’s Steve Jobs. And you have his cellphone number. Shan… I think you win for the coolest party conversation starter. Ever.
