What is invisible but essential about YOU? or ESADE? or Barcelona?
One of the most extraordinary things that I have learned from the MBA is that every soul within it has a story that deserves to be listened to. I am going to tell you one that will give you a sense of who I am.
I have been always an intrepid soul, seeking new adventures to fill my life backpack. At the age of 26, I decided to quit my job, a very stable and well-paid job, and move to Australia with all, and just my savings. You are never ready to settle 17.180,26km from family and friends, my main pillars in life. I was eager for unique experiences, astonishing landscapes, and riveting nature. I felt ready to live the time of my life.
Nothing further from reality, the setback while landing was difficult to encounter. It was not an easy task to get a job, regardless of how much energy and motivation I carried. All my skills, my experience, my English diploma… suddenly, I was down on earth again. It took me 3 months. I arrived in Sydney with all my savings, and as you may imagine, 3 months in Australia without a job is a task difficult to endure. I decided to join a position that did not require any competence: food-delivery rider.
There I was: electric bike, helmet and an isolated bag. A job that I had never thought of doing, but a job that couldn’t make me happier. I was joyful, merry, lively. I had never felt this way on my way to work. I had the opportunity to penetrate into the heart of the city; while waiting outside of big chains I made friends who were coming across the same life introspection. I was glowing, thriving and excelling when it came to the most important job in my life: seeking happiness.
Why is this story invisible but essential?
I used to hide it during stressful and competitive job interviews. I even felt ambivalent when recruiters used to ask me about my Aussie experience.
Until I joined the MBA: I joined ESADE full of biases, questioning my background, my strengths, my assets… and here I realized how valuable I am, mostly, thanks to experiences and stories like the one conveyed in this post.
Never question yourself. Every experience will fill you with marvellous and special knowledge. Sometimes, it is so invisible that you cannot see how essential it can be.
