Man ‘so humbled’ to win award at work, he wrote a 200 word LinkedIn post about it

HUMBLE BRAG: A LinkedIn user has posted a photo of himself winning an award at a work event, alongside 200 words about how good he is.

Paul Barouche won the ‘Best Client Experience’ award at the Australian Mortgage Brokers Industry Association event tonight.

“I’m so humbled to win this award,” he wrote. “I’m privileged to manage a team of brilliant and dedicated colleagues.”

It’s understood the post was only liked and commented on by people who thought Barouche might one day help them find a job.

“Congratulations, well deserved,” commented one man who has never met Barouche, but is reportedly considering a switch to the mortgage broking industry.

‘Well done,’ wrote another man as payback for when Barouche commented on his post last week.

An investigation carried out by DBT has found the 33 year old only won the award after his company paid $850 for a table at the event.

The trophy he won was made in China and is reportedly only worth 63c.

Paul Barouche was not available for comment.
