Hello guys, I learned something new today and I'd be selfish not to share it. This is actually going to be helpful for people going for an interview or someone looking for an investor for their company. You know that most of the time, if someone doesn't have anything to offer, they may not be relevant, because life is a give-and-take.
Now, what did I actually want to teach you? I want to take you through how you can easily sell yourself or pitch yourself, as many call it, to the extent that you won't be taken for granted.
Here's how:
(1) When pitching yourself, try as much as possible to create a problem. Imagine having a shop beside a road where there's always traffic congestion of 1 to 2 hours, and luckily for you, you sell water, drinks, and fast food. Your business has been booming, making big sales, and you're now popular. Suddenly, the government decides to find a quick solution to the traffic issue, and this becomes a disadvantage for you because people no longer wait in traffic, get tired, and come to eat at your place. BIG PROBLEM!
(2) Now, create a solution for the problem you created initially. The owner could barely feed herself again because she had no customers. One day, she decided to consult an agency like ours for advice on how to level up and rise again despite the lack of traffic. We did our research and found that the customers she once had were still eager to have a taste of her food, but the situation that brought them together was no longer available. We advised the woman to collect the customers' data with their permission. Through the internet, we alerted them when they were about to leave the office, and we got a rider to deliver their orders. We also built an app for them to place orders, which we'd answer immediately. Then, PROBLEM SOLVED!
This type of pitch will surely get the investors interested or the interviewer interested in what you have to say, because storytelling that provides solutions is part of our culture.

This is actually a great tip! People pay more attention when you tell a story instead of just listing skills or ideas. Creating a problem first makes them curious, and solving it shows you're capable. It’s a smart way to sell yourself without sounding too pushy. Definitely worth trying in interviews or pitches!

You can practice all these and still not get employed or even considered for a position.
What I tell people these days is that above even certificates, something to usually prioritize is networking and creating good relationships with individuals because one good relationship/connection can change your life forever.

not blaming what you tell, from the title you how to get a job immediately, each company has criteria in looking for employees from the beginning we can see when you will apply if you major in marketing you apply in the finance department it can be a consideration for the recipient of the job, try to choose a job in the same major as you went to school or the skills you have, if it is right then you can work quickly,

If you are planning to get a job then would normally goes into the job on which on where you have graduated since you have literally have the idea on what it is, but we do know that not all will really be that lucky on landing up a job on which it will really be that getting in line with their course and this is why they would really be that risking out on having that taking or applying a job on which it is really that out of their job description and knowledge on which there's nothing we can do about since we do really need up to take risks or else we would really be not able to survive or be able to support our needs on which specially that we are already independent or having our own family on which you would really be needing up to take up such decisions in regarding into this one. You cant really just that make yourself having that kind of confidence on having no work or job.

therefore we must have skills outside of our education, by taking courses or training, where currently there are many job trainings that can channel the skills we have, because actually looking for work, what is most sought after is skills, the problem of risk is a choice where if we try and change direction from our education, we will not get a job and by taking risks does not mean we do not learn and find out what jobs we will apply for outside of our education, there are many workers who are outside their current educational path, but they are serious and until now they are still working because they want to learn

This reminded me of a manhwa/novel I read about office workers before. The main MC is so confident that the interviewer thinks he has experience working in a similar environment before (not wrong since he's a regressor). It's easier said than done though. You need confidence and so on to be able to get their attention quickly. It's a bit unfair since newbies won't be able to do that unless they've done similar things in the past, whether it's in school or other places. I think I also regret my school years a bit because I failed to do the same. I failed to get any connections that might help me look for new jobs near my area because of that.

I don't know how you came about the storytelling of a job interview. I really wanna tell you that it doesn't work.
The job interviewer can't ask you questions relating to the job you are seeking, you are telling them a different thing, a story you formulate. How will that sound to them? Funny
I am sure no job interviewers are interested to hear the story you want to tell. They are just interested in how you defend yourself, and the qualities that you can render

Storytelling in a job interview doesn’t mean making things up. It just means explaining your skills with real examples. Instead of just saying, “I’m good at teamwork,” you share a quick story to show it. This makes you more memorable while still answering their questions.

We should all have skills outside of education so that life will help us get a job. There are many job trainings that can channel our skills because these skills will be essential whenever you are looking for a job. If we can grow with this skill then we can become great entrepreneurs in life even if we pursue jobs. It is not true that we will not get any job without education because currently most of the employment is done by skilled workers. I have a friend who is currently working in a big position in a company, outside of education.

that is correct and you should be very clear and specific when telling a problem and a solution because it is very common for people to just say a problem and then promise a solution without actually giving one
people might be fooled but most will be interested if you have a detailed and realistic plan to how you want to achieve the solution people are more likely to be invested in what you have to say if you present yourself in a manner that is confident and prepared

My country is a funny place that there are low job opportunities and people are forced to work in a field outside their discipline. Been a graduate isn't enough because when there's scarcity of job in hour field, you will be jobless. What I studied in school isn't what I am using to survive because back days cryptocurrency wasn't known.

Thays why we do need to be versatile in order for us to survive because we do know on how hard it is to become jobless or doesnt have any source of income and since your country is having that scarcity of jobs then you would definitely be ending up on working in a job that you dont even know on what it is and you dont have any choice but to deal up with it. So therefore, it will be that up to you on how you do deal up and make out actions into your life because on the moment that you've been trying out to be picky but it wont be that getting in line with your current condition then you are just that basically putting up yourself into a tough situation. Versatility and adaptation of the current situation on which you do need up.

Maximize the usage of social media. If you are a skilled guy and you're wanting to get more projects and become hireable. Use your social media channels like LinkedIn and post your achievements there. Employers and the platforms are looking for the best match for who they are looking for. That's how people become quickly hired nowadays, they'll book you an interview if they've seen your portfolio suits the job and if you pass the interview, you get hired.

That is why they said’ One good turn deserves another’ , having a good and healthy relationship with people can even promote you more faster than your certificate and if you one doesn’t communicate well, can be seen as one who is not ready to grow, people loves it when they having a good time with someone they don’t know about and this action can improve their character of being able to see the world or people differently.

Adaptation is the main key to socializing anywhere, easily adapting makes it easy for us to find information and knowledge for work, the harder it is to find a job, the more we should try to innovate in creating business opportunities so that we can provide jobs later, even though the onslaught of technology and AI has become rampant, we as humans must be alert and careful in dealing with all of this

A must thing to be done if you do really not want to ending up into those situations that you dont have any other ways left just because you hadnt been able to prepare on which you should have done it earlier. We do know that its never been simple nor very that easy when it comes into this aspect because trying out to make up a business or investment ideas do requires several factors like having that enough budget for making up some capital or any other things on which it will be that crucial for your plans to work out but just like as we do all know that there's no guarantee into the things that we've been dealing into, because on the moment that you've been that being too positive on which it might bring up some disappointment once you do experience failure.

It's true that there is no guarantee of success or failure, so there's nothing wrong with trying because if we don't try, we won't know how the story line and the process of the business we are pursuing will go, just like crypto, without knowledge we probably wouldn't have survived until now, where there are many lessons that we can learn in every cycle.

Experience is the best teacher and its just wise that instead on trying out to make yourself hindering on taking up some risks then its better that you should be doing the opposite. There's no way that we can tell on what would be the things that might happen ahead. Its understandable that we will be that get scared because we dont really know on what would happen or the outcome but just like been said that we cant be able to know until we do at least try. Its normal to be scared and thats why risks management will be that relevant because if you dont act now or made out some actions then you wont be that able to progress or having those changes specially if you do have those long term goals then its right that you do need up to take up such step at least.

Exactly, without education someone can be able to secure a better job. Just because you are uneducated that doesn't mean that you should make yourself a liability. Even without education you can develop some helpful skills that will help you to do something beneficial and profitable to sustain yourself and your family. Even if you are educated and you don't have some skills and experience that will guide you when you secure a better job, you may likely lose your job due to lack of creativity, and lucrative opportunities or skills.

Some of the labour oriented jobs requires high skills and expertise so yeah without education it is definitely possible to make more money but it's not gonna be easy and the fact nothing comes easy in our life though.
In this internet era, we can even monetize our hobbies whether it's simply talking or just sharing your day to day life experience with others.
