Times are tough for almost everyone these days – and that includes James Bond.
On April 19, Reuters reported: “The next James Bond movie will be delayed indefinitely due to ‘uncertainty’ from the still unfinished auction of MGM, the movie studio behind the films, producers said on Monday.”
But as with small business owners facing downtime, or individuals confronting unemployment or under-employment, there are ways that Bond can use his time productively, to benefit his career. Writing for the New York Times Arts Beat, David Itzkoff offers some career advice for Bond. I like the following:
• “See if any California technology companies could use help guarding the top-secret prototypes their employees lose in bars.”
• “Start a Twitter account and try to amass more followers than SPECTRE.”
It’s fun, but Itzkoff’s point on pursuing other projects and developing untapped talent is spot on.
After all, outside of being a British secret agent, not sure how far a license to kill can take you.
