But, Bring that inflated sense of entitlement or better yet, bring the labour code with you and I guarantee the ramp work you've done that got your foot in the door will be for naught.
Do you want to be right, or do you want to be a pilot?
This the point right here. In an industry that appears like its full of willing applicants, going through some labour code exercise as a newbie might bring some satisfaction, and hey you might even win. Yeah, and it's going to put you at the top of that choice job's list down the road, too. Not.
It's the same in my industry, where, (and I'm not calling the poster or anyone this -- so chill) snot nosed 22 year olds with fresh MBA's arrogantly feel entitled to 100K jobs right off the bat with Goldman Sachs. They are everywhere.
It's a hard lesson when they find out they know absolutely nothing and are barely qualified to sweep a floor. Entitlement gets you no where but labled, which is extremely hard to shake once it happens.
Pay your dues, ace the groundschool, stand out as an exceptional employee. You'll get noticed and promoted as that's a rare quality. So rare from my experience it's likely to fall on deaf ears.
I'm a business owner. I'm telling you the way it is,like or not.
And why I am in business still, after 18 years? Because I worked my tail off at every job I ever had prior, back to cleaning toilets, long ago.
