Who are you?
From speaking to a client yesterday regarding @CORE Powered by BPM (how it helps candidates to stand out), the client mentioned they recently received a CV of a candidate not just detailing their educational, career history, key achievements etc but her core values, who she really was and what she had learnt in each role.
It got me thinking about my what CV and core values would look like. So here goes:
Pre work: Family
- Treat people as you would expect to be treated by others!
- Manners cost nothing!
Early working life:
Role: Pot wash and Kitchen Hand
- We’re only as good as the last meal we’ve served!
- If it’s not right, don’t send it out!
- A positive reputation talks years to build and days to destroy!
Role: Retail Assistant
- You have two ears and one mouth!
- Listen to the customer and if you don’t have what they require,always offer them a similar alternative.
This was always fun whilst working on the trainer section at a well-known high street retailer
Role: Face to face, direct sales
- Never assume!
- Treat every door as an opportunity
- Every no is one step closer to a yes!
- Invest in some comfortable shoes!
Role: Telesales, Sports hospitality
and we were cheap!
Education
- It’s ok not the be the smartest person in the room
- If you don’t understand, ask
Sport
- You’re only as good as your weakest team mate
- Nobody makes mistakes on purpose
- You win as a team and lose as a team
Honesty, teamwork, transparency, hard work and communication were key in all environments
Oh and having fun helped!
What core values and experiences have influenced you?
