A Case Study* While interviewing for jobs, Jennifer learned from a classmate that Pacific Esolutions was looking at the possibility of opening up a branch in Seoul. Jennifer spent her junior year of high school as an exchange student in Korea and learned to speak Korean with remarkable fluency. Partly as a result, she made a number of close friends with whom she had maintained contact, and she longed to return to the country. She got an interview with Pacific Esolutions and learned, to her delight, that the new office would have a position that suited her perfectly. Esolutions told her that, due to her unique qualifications, she would probably be hired for the job if the office did in fact open. However, the necessary Korean permits had not yet been obtained. In the meantime Jennifer interviewed for other positions and received a couple of acceptable but less desirable offers. It seemed that negotiation between Esolutions and Korean officials had bogged down, and the company was not optimistic. Jennifer tried to keep her options open, but graduation was near, and her classmates were talking about the great jobs they had gotten. She could probably get another offer after graduation through some family contacts, but her classmates would have gone their separate ways. Her best friend Heather urged her to get real and accept a job. Finally, when her offers were about to expire, she signed with Midwest Consulting in Cleveland, Ohio. About two weeks later Jennifer received an email from Esolutions telling her about a breakthrough in the Korean negotiations. Her employment contract was ready to sign. Distraught, Jennifer told Heather about her rotten luck. Heather’s reply was, “What’s the problem? Just tell Midwest that an unexpected opportunity came up. People do it all the time. Employers understand that these things happen. They don’t want to hire someone who really wants to work somewhere else, anyway. Who knows, they may have run across someone they wish they had hired instead of you.” *Source: John Hooker Carnegie Mellon University March 2001, Revised April 2001
