fishinmortician Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hi everyone, I'm looking for some help. Today my regional director approached me and asked what I was passionate about, and I of course explained "fishing". I went on and on for about 20 minutes, then he asked me to relate fishing to business and if I combine the two, would I be as passionate about my job as I am my hobby. He also asked my to come up with one liners that relate fishing to business. Is there anyone out there that may have a few I could borrow? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutdoorDan Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Tell him that you are as prepared for work as you are for fishing - always a cooler full of beer handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" The fishing sure is DEAD today" "I caught him, you bury him." "I dug these up this morning." "They will keep in the fridge until next weekend."

Dozer Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 would I be as passionate about my job as I am my hobby. Tell him/her fishing and work are unrelated, you love to fish and hate to work... if you don't like your job or just want to mess with him/her a little.

Harrison Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Just because you think you have a sure bet product or service to reel them in, it is pointless if you pitch it to the wrong school of thought. Harrison reg TM 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerritt Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hate to say it.... but if my boss was ever to ask me to explain what my hobbies are... I would think he is trying to replace me... especially if he is asking me to put them towards my job... how do I explain drinking beer? Hey Boss I think I could really improve my performance.... by......??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Ok. New twist on an old digger saying. Instead of "You stab em we slab em" When fishing "I slab em, you stab em" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCLT Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 to start off, business and fishing are very similar - your throwing out lures, (sales pitches) in hopes that people (fish) will bite - secondly, your regional is an idiot - and third always answer stupid questions in a work related manner, so that way there is no room for additional stupid questions.......... what is your passion........... my passion is of coarse my work, how I can do better, and be a positive contribution to the success of the company! never go on for 20 minutes about stuff a boss doesnt care about! best of luck!

OutdoorDan Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I don't think it hurts to bring up hobbies in the workplace, if you share some with your boss/co-workers it creates a nice environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmtcanada Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Just because it worked yesterday doesn't mean it will work tomorrow. Being successful in fishing and business is all about not being afraid to change, adapting to the envnrionment and trying something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
