I guess the curious question is when you reflecting on it - does this constitute using your network and connections unfairly to get your job?
Should you have insisted on not using those connections and used only the standard job sites? Is this unfair to people who might not have those connections that you did? Are you perpetuating the problems with "the system"?
Definitely I could see it either way. For sure you were smart, entrepreneurial and motivated and successfully figured out how to navigate "the system".
In fact my main thought is that your comment seems like a great example of how it gets very grey about what the right thing to do is awfully quickly.
- TaylorAlexander 7y agoWe are all perpetuating this system every day. That’s not in itself a sign that we’re doing something wrong, as most of us have little power to change it. But I think it’s time we form collectives that have enough power to serve as alternatives to the unfair system we have today.
- somethoughts 7y agoAgreed - I think the two ways to lessen the unfairness of "the system" are: - Encourage the growth of multiple "systems" so that the monopoly power of "the system" are distributed - Face the reality that there will always be some sort of concept of "the system" and address it by teaching people how to navigate "the system" or "systems" in school
