Can I tell you a (not-so) secret? I'm very excited about this job indeed - applied for it about 10 days ago, and just sent a follow-up e-mail today. I don't want to come across as arrogant, but call off the search, I'm your man. That job description was written for me. Get in touch, I'd like to buy you lunch and explain some of the cool ideas that I've got - and I'd love to hear more about this project, too. All the best, HJ (initialed for privacy, I don't particularly want to tell my boss I'm jumping ship quite yet) Hey!

Like any other branch of corporate communications it's a role that looks full of intangibles. I’d be interested to know how you’re planning to measure success.

Essentially nobody ever said 'the economy's booming so I'll put some money behind a time wasting, bad job' - a role has needed to justify itself in business regardless of external conditions. We have that more in the forefront of our minds right now but it's always been there - or should be if someone is running a business properly. If this is a properly thought out, mission critical (or mission enhancing) role it'll perform no matter whether money is tight or easy in the community at large.

Because the PAPA hire will be able to help us with the process, and so we will complete the two projects earlier this time around. Why did we choose to delay this job, and not the other one(PAPA)?
