JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Not to piss on anyone's chips but I don't go in for all this qualifications in leadership lark, I haven't got a qualification in the world yet lead hundreds of men in a corporate environment I started off as the lowest of the low after being expelled at 14 and dossing Round smoking pot for years. some qualifications or training might help someone whose not got it to get by but ultimately as has been proven all through my career your either born with it or your not, it's all upstairs and you don't need to be Einstein just understand people, and what makes them tick.

Mate I've built myself from bugger all. I'm actually happy to have the qualifications.... not because I blow on the nails.. because I understand and have learnt more. Hard knocks is a great school, nowt wrong with it but it's not a bad thing to have a listen to other ways I laughed at a chap (my best mate lol) 8 years ago when he first introduced me to this..... I'm not laughing now and he is Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not laughing now and he is Yes fair play pal I wasn't knocking you, having qualifications doesn't stop you having natural ability more the point I was making is having them doesn't mean you can walk the walk. I was a little dishonest anyhow as I went to college years later and did get some qualifications but to be honest it was a waste of time for me they were literally useless as I've never had to use any of the skills or even use a CV yet touchwood. So more to the young lads with poor job prospects graft, guile and patience will see you right. A big area were I see a lot coming in with all the qualifications these days is sales, dear me the amount of them with no charisma, drive or ruthless streak is unbelievable I'm sure we all worked out as kids which of your mates could sell things certainly a job you either got it or you don't. Good luck in your job search. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck in your job search. I went to the Brian London school of hard knocks and you're right... maths and engineering got me fecking nowhere.. I spent 8 years fitting blinds, awnings etc lol. Crisis 2008 and decided to change my career path. Met people and it went from there. Everyday is a school day. When it comes to sales.... I could get a meeting and a deal with Gandhi for beef exports, tomorrow 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on,this has been touched on earlier, I'm an intelligent fella and really I've always wanted to run my own business but I doubt i ever will as amongst other things I'm prob to clever for my own good as I'll worry about all the things I don't know about whereas another mate of mine whose last brain cell died of loneliness is currently running his own successful business, he only worries about what he does know which isn't much which leaves him plenty of time to worry about the main thing i.e quickest and easiest way to make a buck 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
