I had this urge of "digging" out my blog after interviewing a candidate today.
He asked me why I decided to join frog, and what were some memorable interactions/experience that best bring out the Haas culture.
As my mind travels back in time, I remember this blog that I had. I remember there was a post on innovation somewhere in my blog. It took me awhile to find my blog. Once i found it, i immediately bookmarked it. I then read several posts. They brought back memories that I didn't know existed before, especially the one article about Ivan's advice on how to spend my last summer upon graduating from MBA.
How fortunate I was to be able to work alongside with inspirational people like Ivan? And I understood why I constantly feel something important that is missing from my current job. I really miss working alongside people whom I respect ( and care for me in return) Just as Gillian perfer to mingle with working mom as she feel she can have more meaningful conversations with working mom than full time mom, I really see the workplace as a place where I can get some inspiration and make meaningful relationships. Although I have all this time at hand in my current job, I don't feel I fit in and I don't feel I am appreciated or valued. I am blessed that I have an opportunity to pursuit something different.
