I Am the Engineer

5/19/2012

0 Comments

 
Last year I attended an event for small cap companies to network and look for business.

I handed one CEO my business card and began explaining what I can do.  He looked at my card then looked at me and laughingly said, "You can't possibly be the engineer."  I assured him I am an engineer and the only engineer in my company.  He looked at me again but began talking to someone else and walked off.  I was left wondering what had just occurred.

It was the brushoff.  Dismissed again as being capable of higher level thinking.

It was a dismissive attitude clothed in a $1000 suit and $300 shoes.  It looks no different than Fire Retardant Clothing and steel-toed shoes on an $18/hr. maintenance man.
