Michael Dorsey is a waiter at a
restaurant, but he used to be an actor two years ago. He has not acted since
two years ago. Michael Dorsey went to his agent after hearing some news. He
wanted to prove to his agent that he can get the role somehow. His agent did
not believe him what so ever. What Michael Dorsey did correct was that he did
not let anything stop him from getting a role. He dressed up like a woman and
he went to the audition. Right before he could fully audition the
actor/director told him no, that he was not right for the part. “…working for the same company
for a lifetime are long gone and in some industries having one job for a
significant period of time is frowned upon rather than considered an asset.” Michael did not take no for an answer and he stood up
for himself. He did not fail to show his disguise, he stayed in costume the
whole time. Later on he showed his agent how he got the role and that he was
able to achieve his goal in getting the role. “As unattainable as a dream job might sound, with the
right amount of forethought and preparation, you can make the move...”
What he possibly did wrong was that, instead of telling his female friend, the
one who really wanted the role also, he lied to her and did not tell her about
him getting the role. Sometimes to achieve your dream job you might need to go
above and beyond for something you really want. And that is something that
Michael did. To get a big role he had to dress up like a woman and he was able to
get the role. “...to
conduct a self-exploration and identify possible careers that truly inspire.”
