selling yourself?

tldr: If you're currently applying for a job, you probably should give your CV a makeover. I recorded a short video for you to show you how to enhance your CV through storytelling.

Thousands of people apply to join my team at Close every month. Lots of "why you should hire me"-style pitches coming my way.

Once you're on the receiving end of screening job applications, you realize: CVs suck. Almost nobody is good at writing CVs—even badass marketers and great sales people are surprisingly bad at it.

I'm pretty sure I missed out on hiring some amazing talent, just because the CVs they sent me unsold me on learning more about them:

A list of places they studied and worked at, that doesn't tell a story, doesn't convey a compelling message, doesn't give me any sense for why this person is the right fit for the role. So yes, thank you, but no.

In this video, I share why you need to make your CV tell a story, and how to do it well. Even if you're not currently looking for your next gig—there's valuable lessons in there on how to tell your life's story in a more effective way.

Go get'em!
Steli
