Show Off your Awesome Accomplishments (1)

Description:

Sometimes, in an effort to avoid being called a showoff, you end up hiding or downplaying many of your achievements. Showoffs aren’t appreciated in a world that favors humility (whether it is real or not). But without making your successes visible, you’ll end up missing out on important opportunities that go only to the bold. Developing a CV full of achievements might seem the best way to signal your expertise, but if you’re applying for a job, this won’t get you the best result. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
