Write a CV/Resume with some simple steps

CV means curriculum vitae. It's a page of story. A story about you. When the highlighting points of this story impress an employer, you get a call to portray your story in front of an employer.

So, writing a CV/Resume means story telling. Obviously the story must be true otherwise employer will understand that you are telling a fake story by seeing your body language.

5 efficient ways to do an effective presentation

To do a presentation one thing is common, which is only you are saying and others are listening to you. So you are the spokesperson and in front of you there is audiences. Maybe 10, 50, 100,1000! We are talking in here about how to do an effective presentation in a efficient way. 

Let's get started.

1 Idea: People are listening to you only if you present a rigid, logical idea, which can help people rethink about the fact you are telling.

2. Story: Understand your audiences emotions. Connect with them by telling a story. Express your idea through a story. When you do so it can help you to build a rapport (relationship) with people and people want to hear from you more.

3. Structure of presentation: You could talk about maximum 5 different ideas into one presentation. It's better to put 3 ideas because research has been shown that people can hold their attention for 3. 

3 is the lucky charm!!!

If you have more than 3 ideas make another presentation.

Don't forget to paraphrase at last. 

4. Time: Choose a time slot when people have higher productivity. I think morning is the best time.

5. Practice: Remember, always do practice. The more you practice, the more you flawlessly deliver your speech. 

Last but not least, always smiling. Smile has healing powers and it will give an access to your audience easily.
