In the sense of this meme it's actually true. An airforce recruiter comes to you with the opportunity to be a fighter pilot you take the offer first. You clear medical, they send you to basic, then flight school, then you learn to be a fighter pilot. At no point before they sign you up do they have any requirements of needing to know how to fly.
I get it, but I hate it. It's not in my nature to lie like that. I can "lie" for the sake of humor or something, like using misdirection or "acting," but when it's an honest situation I can't help but be honest.
Not that I have opportunities tossed my way that often lol
I hate it but it's how these things go. You only had a 3 week internship at school because that's what your school does at the end of your semester as a requirement for graduating? That's fine, on your resume that becomes "Spring 2024", people don't need to know it was only 3 weeks, they can think it was 3 months unless they explicitly ask you how long it was which they usually don't. It helped me land my first dev job years ago, it sucks but it works.
If in your kind of job you atitudes put a at risk peoples lives, you have to have training to executing a specific job, and can't go i always say i can do it, so this quote is not aplided to every situation, my job is a exemple of this, so no, i did not agree with my boss, and put my foot on the ground.
He's right, though - unless there are real legal repercussions or it's an impossible task, just say "yes". Worst case scenario, you'll do a bad job of it and whoever requested your service won't do it anymore.
Right. This is what I see in the quote. No one, in my entire life, has ever simply offered me an amazing opportunity. I’ve had to apply, interview, fight for that opportunity.
Who is getting opportunities handed to them they’re not qualified for? What world does this guy live in?
