I recently applied for a job as a President of a community college. I didn't get the job. I did get a first round interview, but the minute the 20 minute interview started I knew I wasn't really being considered. The body language in the room was off. Everyone was tired and not looking at me. I finished the interview and told my husband right away - I didn't get it. I was right. And its caused me to think perhaps I'll always be a Vice President. Never a President.
Life As A Runner Up
A co-worker once described me as “not a diamond in the rough, but more than capable of doing my job,” I think he just called me a runner up?
