Wisdom from Steve Holmes

I was reminded recently about a piece of wisdom I received back in 1992 from CV writer Steve Holmes . It went as follows:-

It's a privilege to have a decent job these days. And in the future we're going to have to do some actual work, for reasonable but not lavish reward, competing with people who couldn't care less about our precious egos.

Clients are looking for nice people, modestly team minded, able and willing to work hard to get things done. You don't have to be interesting or special, just efficient and, above all, willing to do the job they will pay you for.

Many people have numeric and technical ability but very few indeed have high-level language skills and even less the imagination to communicate what the other needs to hear than what they think they want to say!

Steve is still crafting fine CV's. He can be contacted these days at http://cv-masterclass.com
