• An individual in the nonprofit sector faced a stressful period three years ago when searching for a new job while moving location and going through a divorce. He initially accepted a role that he believed he was underqualified for, but then abruptly left it behind when he got an offer for a better paid job.

  He remembered this incident once again when his current company acquired a new CEO, who happened to be the hiring manager for that job he had rejected back then. Reporting directly to her, he was anxious about how to address the interaction between them when she was in her previous role.
