Here is one lightening-fast method which will triple, if not quadruple, your chances of getting a job interview
First here is a riddle: what is the C-word that overcomes C-grades?
I train people in the 5 secret that turn job interviews into a job offer almost without fail. But what should you do if you are having trouble getting that interview in the first place? Without exception, of all the people I've ever employed were the ones that were the hungriest.
Another kept badgering us, even though his CV was one of the worst Id seen (honestly) but he didn't just badger: he had a compelling and sincere story about how the grades only reflected his dis-taste for structured study. He went on to say that he knew his calling was in a workplace environment. We liked his hunger so we gave him a shot, and he ended up being right he was one of our top employees. Getting a job is no time to be shy. You must get much more than your CV in front of someone if you are serious about getting the interview.
Get your face in front of them. Show up at their workplace and insist on dropping it off in person. Ring them up and speak to the prospective employer. Tell them you are contacting them because you didn't want to be just another CV without a voice or voice.
That C-word which overcome C-grades is "Courage". Combine this with conviction in yourself, and certainty in your moves and you will get the result you want, despite an appalling CV, an abysmal academic record, or an atrocious job history.
Most people never stop and ask the question "How can I be more courageous in my approach? Instead, they abdicate responsibility for getting a job to - the economy - an employment agency - a CV
Thats why the quote is fortune favours the braves not fortune favours the grades.
2 minutes of courage counteracts 10 years of underachievement at school
2 minutes of courage can be the switch that flicks your life into a new dimension
2 minutes of courage will triple your chance of getting an interview in the first place.
