Hiring Managers, Take Note

Michelle Kwan and Janne Ahonen, according to various talking heads on TV, have “a big hole in [their] résumé[s]”. Why? Because both have five World Championships in their respective sports, but neither has ever won gold at the Olympic Games.

Does anyone really think there are any hiring managers out there who would say, “Gosh, you won five world championships in ski jumping, but our qualifications for this job specifically said ‘Olympic champion’. Sorry, Janne, but we can’t hire you”?
