This can be bad for people at times. I remember a certain Mercer intern who told a company in Indianapolis that he was interviewing with that he had an offer from Mercer when he DID NOT. Amateur. That kind of stuff is going to come out with one simple email.
This week, I have had two of those experiences that prove, once again, "It's a small (actuarial) world after all." (I can even say most of that in sign language.)
1) A nameless friend from my Mercer days ended up interviewing with my company this week. He had no clue that Katie, Sushma and I all work there! He got referred to the company from someone in our San Diego office! Random. **
2) I was looking through OLD OLD OLD pictures on my computer. (It's Friday.) I came across this picture from our course 3 seminar back in the fall of 2003.
Yeah, I'm not looking at the camera, but anyway, that guy that is standing next to me (not Ahow), is Daniel and he works with me now in our North Carolina office!!** I IM'd him and was like "Did you go to a course 3 seminar in Atlanta in 2003?" He was like "Ummm, remember, I was a lot younger back then." Yeah, it was a crazy week.
** Note, my company is an extremely small company. Like under 50 employees.
