Friday Wisdom, Lessons on how to get a job

Friday Wisdom Lessons on how to get a job For some reason, I always wanted to publish a book, never really knew what it should be about, should I go for a novel, fiction, non-fiction, to be honest, the idea never really materialized until recently.  I finally made the decision to write down a book that depicts my journey in the career world, some of the experiences that I went through, what was going through my head, lessons that I have learnt along the way that might help in getting a job, and a chapter dedicated to Mobile resume and how it came to life.  The main reason why I decided to write “ Friday Wisdom ” was not only because it was something that I always wanted to do but mostly I wanted to provide insight and share my experience in searching for a job in order to raise awareness and potentially help people get a job.  I did find myself searching for a job a few times in my life, each time for a different reason mostly driven by ambition and ...

Why you should never settle for less I do have to confess this one, I did make that mistake in my early career when first landing a job after graduation.  I have moved to another country directly after graduation and was looking forward to landing a job and starting my career. I didn’t have Mobile Resume free CV maker back then, rather I was left to go through so many websites in order to figure out how to make a CV and what to put it in and then started the journey of figuring out how to get in touch with recruiters or businesses directly. Having almost zero experience in all that; however, I did somehow land a few interviews and attended some of them and apologized to the others.  My first mistake was I decided to join a company just because the manager seemed like a decent person and willing to give a fresh graduate a chance not to mention he did see my potential. He did briefly bring up the salary, but nothing was confirmed. A few days later, I get a call f...
