“I landed cool jobs – thanks for your help!”

Just got this from a client:

“Gerard, all I can say is that the last 3 times my CV was done by you , I landed cool jobs! thanks for all your help!”

Nice. But there’s a warning. Job hunting is complicated. There are so many factors that have to come together to make them choose you. A lot of it is out of your control. A great CV can do great things. But it doesn’t always.

Public Speaking Tip: Grab Audience Attention with a Question

Public speaking idea: grab attention ๐Ÿ’ฅ in your next talk / speech / presentationโ—๏ธ How? Try a question. Like this, perhaps: โžค “How did XYZ (Pty) Ltd go from R3m in losses through chaos and waste… to a R500k profit in 1 year? And doing so by only spending R50k and by cutting no jobs?”

Pretty intriguing, right? So use questions to grab attention. BUT, only use a question that is intriguing to who your audience is. What would interest THEM? ๐ŸŽฏ
