Is this an astonishing question, would I call for an interview someone with my CV?

In marketing we use to say that one of the most common mistakes is to look at consumer as being a “copy” of ourselves, to build a sustainable knowledge we need to study and understand their needs and beliefs.

In today session with Workmaze Consultancy about CV and Cover Letter writing tips and techniques, it was interesting to see a HR professional advising to always look at our CV and cover letter as we were on the other side. Never forget that many times HR have the same background, perfectly understand the managerial dimensions and have been at least in a position of being a job candidate.

In my opinion this view has two implications; first do not use techniques that you would not value on others. Second, take time to understand if your CV really shows your strengths in a way that will earn an interview opportunity.

Networking Session

Today the session with the HR directors was very good.
In spite of the lack of time it was an opportunity to expand our network, improve our ability to speak about ourselves, expand the awareness of the Lisbon MBA.

But for me the most important was asking myself the following question,
“Why can´t we take the lead while we are in the Lisbon MBA to speak with relevant contacts?”.

It is the right time and the correct approach to search and build the future career opportunities.
