Sex matters more than brains
-
By Maureen Koh
Four months after she first had sex with her marketing director in exchange for a premium clientele list, Nora was promoted to head of her team.
A year later, she was offered the position of senior associate.
Doesn't that make her more like a prostitute?
Wouldn't there be more pride working your way up using your own talents?
Nora says cynically: "Sure, we can reject the indecent proposals and walk away, but think about it, if all it takes is just that one move... Why act all chaste and innocent?"
Still, Nora turned down the offer of senior associate and moved on to a car company to become its regional deputy vice-president of sales.
She says: "I left the first firm with my director's blessings and I knew it was also because he had his eyes set on another newbie."
Nora admits that she has no qualms about using her looks, her smile or even her body to advance her career.
"Come on, don't tell me that I can get to the top with just sheer hard work," she maintains.
"Of course I don't go to every sales appointment dressed like a prostitute with a come-hither look. I do my homework, find out more about the potential client and decide on what works best."
She adds: "Sex is a convenient tool of exchange. I'd use it when necessary. Not everyone is into sex. For such clients, I showcase my natural talent - intelligence and wit."
Nora quickly adds, as if to underscore her intelligence: "By the way, I've acquired two postgraduate degrees, one in economics and the other in business."
It is also not a big deal whether the client is married or even if the client is a woman.
Nora claims: "I had a brief fling with a lesbian client and she took me to my position here today."
She declines to elaborate, but would only say that she and that client are now good friends.
"Not in the sexual sense though," she adds.
Nora, who is dating "someone out of the sales line", does not discuss work with her boyfriend.
Doesn't she feel guilty being so flippant about sex?
What about being faithful to him?
"I don't care if he knows. At most, he'd walk out of the relationship. It would not be the end of the world," she says.
"I have my job. I am cash-rich and debt-free. I own three properties and, well, I can go anywhere I want without being dependent on anyone, much less a man."

lots of people without the necessary skills and talents get promoted everywhere. and lots of people with talent and hardwork gets nowhere in their career. it all boils down to what the definition of talent is.
