Would a meal taste different if the chef entered her restaurant from the front door, back door, or a side window?
I doubt it.
Once inside, nobody cares how you entered.
When securing a job at an organisation I would argue that it matters even less.
Because entering an organisation is like jumping into a lake – no two people can do it the same way twice.
You are different, the jump is different, and the lake is different.
All paths are unique. All paths must be respected.
