Too often, people get jobs based on who they know - not what they know.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My experience has shown me that the people who are exceptionally good in business aren't so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more.
Sometimes, taking a job is like going to a shrink or something, where you get to know yourself better.
Most people spend their whole lives looking for the right job. There are others who never get an opportunity to do work that fulfils them.
The trouble with people is not that they don't know but that they know so much that ain't so.
Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.
There's stuff that everybody does that they don't know they do.
A lot of times, you just don't get the jobs you want to get.
Folks don't like to have somebody around knowing more than they do.
Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them.
People love to be told what they know already.
