You know, people always say, “Well who
should I go to work for when I get out, then?” I’ve got a very simple answer,
we may elaborate more on this as we go along, but, you know
the real thing to do is to get going for some institution or individual that
you admire.
* elaborate
on: to explain something in further detail
ex> Would you mind elaborating on
your plans for further airport expansion?
I mean it’s crazy to take in-between jobs just because they look
good on your resume, or because you get a little higher starting pay.
* in-between
job: an occupation that is used as a bridge to the career job
ex> I don’t think working as a
dishwasher can be considered an in-between job.
I was up at Harvard a while back, and a very nice young guy he picked me up at the
airport a Harvard Business School attendee.
* a
while back: a short time in the past
ex> Laurence used to have long hair,
but that was a while back.
I thought it would really round out my resume perfectly if I went
to work now for a big management consulting firm.” And I said, “Well, is that
what you want to do?” And he said “No,” but he said, “That’s the perfect
resume.” And I said, “Well when are you going to start doing what you like?”
* round
out: to make something complete; fill out
ex> The basketball team was rounded
out by a 7-foot tall center and a 5-foot-6-inch small forward.
Note> This expression also means to “make
round” (in terms of shape).
ex> Let’s round out the edges
here.
They’re all becoming
self-employed.” So, you’ve got to temper that advice a little bit.
* be/become self-employed: to own one’s
own business
ex> Being self-employed may
seem like complete freedom, but it can be very stressful.
