A lady was standing on a street corner with a poster that said, “ Please hire me: Bachelor of Laws (LLB), one year experience, CV in possession, Tel 079 999 8116”. My response, “Rewrite the poster to explain what specific problem you will solve for someone to make them want to choose you now! Don't focus on yourself, your degree, your experience and your joblessness. The truth is that no one will pay attention. Two things you need in life: Time and Relationships. Time you have, relationships you can nurture – start with a CPS then change the poster to: 'I Will incorporate and file annual corporate returns with BRS & KRA for your business. Call Tel 079 999 8116.'
All graduating students may be asking the wrong question. The question should be: “How can I use all the resources I have to create value for someone in my community in exchange for what I need?” not “Can someone create circumstances where they need my qualifications and experience, then pay me?”
