The official definition of the word "consultant"
is: A person who provides expert advice professionally. But I can't forget
another definition - funny but worth considering - that says: A consultant is
an individual who borrows your watch to tell you the
time. Nowadays too many people proclaim to be experts in this and that field
only to lure you into hiring them. Most of the things consultants tell you is
stuff that you can easily find out by yourself about. I took the time to check
out the different kinds of consultants available on the market. The list is longer
than an arm. A few of the most "charming" titles are: home
staging c.- clutter c.- skin care c.- philosophic c.- image c.-weight loss c.-
wedding c. and many, many others. They even advise you to discover your
inner consultant. So, what kind of consultant do "you" want
to become? It could certainly be a rewarding activity. Now, look, I am not
trying here to despise a respectable job, that could be highly helpful in
really difficult fields such as, for example, tax filing. But as to other
stuff, you can just find plenty of information by yourself and, most of all,
you can use your common sense. If you have dry skin, you can make a search and
find the best cream for you. Or... do you need an expert to tell you that you
have dry skin and need to use a suitable treatment? I'll conclude with a joke I
read somewhere.
The Company big boss says, "The consultants we brought
in to monitor the consultants who are looking into our cutting back on
consultants are recommending specialist consultants".
