This is a first. I received this message via LinkedIn. I responded while I was flattered I have to politely decline as my company probably wouldn't appreciate it. I thanked this person and invited them to connect.ย
This is hilarious because this is how producers of the Bachelorette recruit a lot of their cast. They know that a specific school/career/location is exactly what they need to build out their "ideal cast". My wife's co-founder has been hit up three times now for different seasons/spin-offs because he went to an Ivy undergrad and HBS for his MBA.

Now it makes sense. I wasย in a state of "WTF-did that really just happen" after I got the message. Regardless, they were kind and I still think it's funny.

My friend nominated me years ago for the bachelorโฆ I was confused and thought it was a joke- it was serious. And no fโn way as see how they can edit and make you a hero or a sobbing mess of unrequited love. I already survived high school lmao. Stillโฆ oddly flattering? Let it put a skip in your step at least and ask them if they can still intro you to the good looking ones. ๐๐คญ๐คฃ off camera lolย

Ugh unrequited love edit is the WORST. Always makes me think of 500 Days of Summer.ย

Nope no nope nope and nope. I was offered a reality show once, and my sister was on Project Runway. She HATED the end result, as the show controls the narrative, not you. Doesnโt matter what happens, they edit and set you up in a way to confirm it.ย
For example, my sister wasnโt the best at sewing so they made sure she got a machine that always broke. Before they started filming, they had already decided who they wanted to win so they ensured he never got bad equipment, fabrics, whatever. And there was ALWAYS ridiculous amounts of alcohol stocked EVERYWHERE and people were encouraged to drink to cause drama.ย
You also donโt get paid, and have to sign major NDAs.ย
