Let me be honored to make the 200th posting on this wonderful thread. And here we go....
Some people are talking about consequences now that @chepkel has posted her pikshas (some are also commenting on the content of her previous threads), and I have been wondering what kind of consequences they are talking about. Personally, I can only see positive consequences. And I am saying so because today’s employer is looking for candidates who are:
1. Confident – all CEOs want employees with a lot of confidence and she fares very well on this front
2. Bold – CEOs want people who are daring, brave and can think out of the box. Even lady admin can’t believe it and greatly impressed, she can’t even dare remove that piksha no 1.
3. Sincere – she’s forthright and doesn’t have to hide her identity and activities
4. Creative - she has proven that she can come up with creative threads that provoke passionate debate for days on end, she also knows when to pop in and add more fuel to the fire. It’s every marketer’s/advertiser’s dream to capture the attention of the audience/market for days on end and generate such passionate debate about a product/issue.
5. Outgoing with great interpersonal skills, team player (mapiksha say it all)
6. Can fit well in multicultural environments (mapiksha say it all) – UN should be head hunting her.
7. Focused, result oriented – she has remained focused marketing Egypt when everyone around her was losing their mind about that one piksha. All the comments have not detracted her.
8. Good communication skills - she is a good writer/communicates well as judged from her posts.
9. Good presentation skills – her post no 1 says it all i.e. clever use of imagery and phrases etc. for the ‘5 reasons’. She knew she had to start with that bikini piksha for maximum impact and to strongly capture people’s attention. She’s the kind of employee you would want to make presentations to your clients.
10. Exciting, passionate about what they do – no one wants to have dull employees in their team, they want people who are exciting and full of energy and love what they are doing.
11. Well educated – I gather that she is doing her masters.
I believe @chepkel scores very highly in all those 11 points and would be every CEO’s dream employee. Gone are the days CEOs demanded that employees are born again Christians….
