- I should have told him he was a jerk !!!- You should have been the best !

7 Tips The Brutal Method

1. Google Mister Recruiter, and surprise him during the Interview ! 2. Careful : one recruiter out of 10 watches candidates when they get out

of their car. 3. Don’t talk about money before the recruiter does. 4. Passed the 6 month mark, you are already considered as a long-term

unemployed person…don’t let those gaps hide your work experience: fill the gaps…

5. Careful: sometimes it is more difficult to justify your qualities than your flaws…

6. Your CV must be about the future, not about the past. Help the recruiter imagine your role. Talk about what your contribution would be.

7. On your CV: bold letters are for important things, like tags or reference points.

8 Tips The Brutal Method

1. No scarf at the interview, very few jewels. You want to send a message about your being a professional !

2. Remember: if you tell everything, then there is nothing else to tell…3. Always remember the names and duties of your former colleagues…it

gives you more credibility. 4. CV and cover letter: not handwritten unless requested. But sign with

an inkpen. 5. There’s nothing like a funny joke: prepare your improvisation!6. Never pay attention to the Old and Wise: he wrote his last CV back in

‘ 72!7. Tuesday is mail day! 8. Careful: the Devil is in the details. The stamp must be glued properly,

the mailing adress written with ink and the envelope rectangular.
