Must read article if you are applying for a job.

Yes, I am very very unhappy with many employment consultants and HR who conduct interviews, and their high and mighty attitude sometimes get to my nerves.

I have students asked me to help them after they got a reply to go for an interview. They wanted me to teach or tutor them certain topics or subjects because they bluffed their ways to impress the recepient, or Fake it till you get it.

Using software to do the preliminary scanning is very unfair, and filters out some quality applicants, except those some Street Smart or those who have the gift of the gap, but not much grey matter above. In fact, many of you, the readers, probably have encounterd many of such “colleagues” in your office.

As a mentor to job seekers, I have to help them to ”market” themselves to get the first impression right, or else they can’t even score an interview.

Thank you for reading
