That said, at a previous employer a new role was created that I wanted but we advertised for externally. The job description described the perfect candidate; product management experience, MBA, London based, native Finnish speaker, mobile phone industry knowledge and my boss was confident that we'd never find that person and he could give me the job (it was his boss who thought this was what we needed). What happened? We found a native Finnish speaker, with an MBA working for Philips as a product manager who'd previously worked in the mobile phone industry and wanted to move from Singapore to London. He got the job.
