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.”
