June 28, 2010Oprah’s audition questionnaire – an inner interview. But do we have to expect to win to play?
In case you haven’t heard, Oprah is creating her own network and has a competition for people to win their own show. The audition questionnaire was really something. It took a half hour to complete, and included more questions about how I handle anger and what high school was like for me than about accomplishments. I’d love to know how they use the information.
There was one question that gave me pause.
- Why do you think you’ll win?
Do I have to think I’ll win to play? They received a lot of amazing auditions from very talented people. Does it disqualify me to think one of them might win and not me?
Well, I decided to enter anyway. I figured it was up to me to decide whether the fact that I think it’s possible that some other talented individual will win was a disqualifier or not.
So, I’m in the game. I’m in it for the experience. I don’t have to expect to win to play. I hope you get in the games that interest you too.
I wouldn’t object if I got a call from the OWN network. But we don’t have to expect to win to play.
