I have just had a call from a very good friend of mine who just so happens to be a millionaire businessman. We worked together 10 years ago and go for drinks occasionally etc.
He just called to give me an opportunity to get into a new venture he is launching, which is venue management (something I have limited knowledge of but I have been an events manager for 10 years). He needs a project manager and thinks that I am "perfect" for the position, and he says he can trust me to get on with things etc. He also says it would fit in perfectly with my maternity leave which I will be taking soon (not coming back to this job) and that I could realistically start in a years time (perfect for me).
I told him I couldnt really talk at the moment as I'm at work but have promised to call him tonight and discuss a few bits and then we'll go for a drink on Friday. Problem is I have no idea what a Project Manager does? Can anyone give me some insight into this profession?
We are very good friends so if I dont feel at all comfortable, I am completely able to say no at the moment so I just wanted to ask you guys if you could help me not look like an idiot?
