The Magic of Packaging 

It’s amazing how creative people can be. Creativity is not borne out of a negative attitude, but  positive one; and that’s probably why you’re reading this post on here today. Many have lost opportunities because of improper ‘packaging’. I know because I do a lot of career coaching and candidate interviews.

Sometimes I review CVs with candidates and discover so much information that has been left out in the process of putting their CVs together. Many ignore some of the volunteer activities at their educational institutions and places of worship, but all these can actually count, depending on the type of job you’re applying for.

I came across the list below on one of the WhatsApp groups I belong to and decided to keep it to share because I found it quite interesting and entertaining. It’s creative, but actually broadens one’s perspectives as to how you could present the littlest things to look so polished. Trust me, I know, as I have worked from a single desk & laptop and my business was given the treatment of a reputable limited liability company, even though I was only registered as a sole proprietorship.

Here are some of the creative, packaged roles below. You can decide to even integrate this into your business to create some fun and excitement. Who knows, this could even enhance employee morale of your lower echelon.
