Job interviews often come with promises of security and loyalty, but these promises can be broken, leaving individuals devastated. This was the case for the author, who found herself jobless and struggling to make ends meet.
However, the author's experience was not unique. Many people have been laid off, downsized, or re-engineered, only to realize that security comes from within. The author argues that this is because most corporations make promises they cannot keep, and that true security comes from within.
The concept of praxis, or the integration of belief with behavior, is key to achieving success and creating one's own security. Praxis is about walking the talk and aligning one's beliefs and actions. By understanding praxis, individuals can position themselves to achieve any result they choose.
As the author notes, 'Security, real security, comes from within us. If you don’t have it inside of you, you simply don’t have it.' This means that individuals must take responsibility for their own security and not rely on corporations to provide it.
Today, smart corporations are making new promises, such as 'Give us performance and we give you opportunity for growth and development.' This is a more viable promise, as it aligns with the concept of praxis and recognizes that security comes from within.
Ultimately, delivering on one's promise made at a job interview is crucial for achieving success and creating one's own security.
