hard lah, used to be if you're good at what you're doing and
someone right at the top recognise you can go into a position that
makes full use of your talents.
nowadays paper qualifications and track record count more so its
harder for the truely talented to shine.
1. 'If you're good at what you're doing', you will surely
be recognised & telent scouted for your services. Good
quality 'someone right at the top' will see the real stuff if it's
present & the mediocre one will miss it.
2. My take is that paper qualification & a good track
record is equated to telent - in other words, paper qualification =
the theoretical part & track record = the practical
aspect. And anyone who scores highly in these attributes will
surely shine.
