Build confidence and competence in job seekers
People have evolved to communicate through stories—to listen to them and learn from them. Descriptive stories (versus logical fact-based arguments) activate more areas of our brains and increase engagement. In business, telling personal stories that demonstrate humility and show vulnerability leads to better attention, understanding and recall.
Teach job seekers to do more than just recite facts and figures about their skills and experiences and to move beyond the CAR/STAR/PAR achievement statements used in resume bullets. Communicating with stories will make your voice heard and your opinions more thoughtfully considered.
While facts and figures are forgotten, stories are remembered and retold.
Be the memorable one.
