her previous role as Operations Director of a construction company at just 20 years old
I love this classic bulls&*t. Who becomes an ‘Ops Director’ at 20 unless you are bonafide genius, or have your own/family business where you can call yourself what you like whilst having no experience whatsoever. I’d wager almost 100% of future Ops Directors or similar are still in education at 20, let alone starting the journey up the career ladder.
It never ceases to amaze how a collection of ‘ahem’ ‘directors’, ‘executives’ and ‘business leaders’ find it genuinely difficult to talk coherently, use basic maths, articulate a true business benefit, overcome objection, manage a team etc etc.
Perhaps a more realistic bio;
Elle Stevenson
Age: 21
Occupation: Daughter of Owner, Construction
Lives: With Mum and Dad, London
Elle describes herself as a “bit wishy-washy” and says she is clueless but “that doesn’t matter as long as people think you know what you are doing”. Though she’s the youngest candidate of the group, she says those who know her would say she is no more stupid than the rest of them. As well as teaching herself fluent ‘business-speak’, she lists her biggest business achievement to date as her previous role flouncing around whilst everyone else wonders what she does at a construction company at just 20 years old. She cites Taylor Swift as her business inspiration, calling her “the best pop-singer of the 21st century, even better than Harry Styles from One Direction”.
She says: “I’m mediocre – I can’t be middle. I hate being the person that comes second… I’ve never been the person that comes second, I usually forget to turn up, in fact what am I doing here? Wibble.”
