Between the rich and the poor. How are they so different from each other? I’ve got a long rich versus poor explanation here, but read to the very end — I promise you, it will be worth it. 1. Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people play the money game to not lose. The goal of truly rich people is to have massive wealth and for many of them, it’s to help a lot of people. One of the principles we teach in our programs is, “If you shoot for the stars, you’ll at least hit the moon.” Poor people don’t even shoot for the ceiling in their house, and then they wonder why they’re not successful. 2. Rich people are committed to being rich. Poor people want to be rich. The number one reason most people don’t get what they want is that they don’t know what they want. Rich people are totally clear that they want wealth. They are unwavering in their desire. They are fully committed to creating wealth. As long as it’s legal, moral, and ethical, they will do whatever it takes to have wealth...

Meaning it is important to ensure your CV is well written and shows that you are the person the employer is looking for. So if you want to get interviews, there are things you need to include in your CV, no matter what position you are applying for. Here’s what you should always include in your CV 1. Your Contact Details This is an important part of your CV. You should never send your CV without including ways the employer can contact you in case they want to invite you for an interview.

Here are the most common interview mistakes I see people make. 1. Arriving late   Since job candidates often have several interviews with different managers scheduled back to back, two things could happen when you show up late: In simplest terms, you shouldn’t be late to an interview. Ever. 2. Arriving too early On the flip side, arriving too early can also irritate a hiring manager, since it is equally disruptive to their schedule. 3. Not dressing appropriately We recently made some suggestions for what to wear to a job interview, but the importance of your appearance bears repeating: you need to dress the part. 4. Not bringing a resume In an ideal scenario, the hiring manager would be ready with your resume, but days are busy and not every interviewer is organized. 5. Being unprepared. Obvious lack of preparation is an opportunity crusher. And, lack of preparation usually becomes obvious quickly. 6. Having negative body language. If you never smile, have a limp handshake, and don...

1. Practice and Prepare Review the typical job interview questions employers ask and practice your answers. Strong answers are those that are specific but concise, drawing on concrete examples that highlight your skills and back up your resume. Your answers should also emphasize the skills that are most important to the employer and relevant to the position. Be sure to review the job listing, make a list of the requirements, and match them to your experience. Note that even the most well-prepared response will fall short if it does not answer the exact question you are being asked. While it’s important to familiarize yourself with best answers, it’s equally important to listen carefully during your interview in order to ensure your responses give the interviewer the information they are looking for. Also, have a list of your own questions to ask the employer ready. In almost every interview, you’ll be asked if you have any questions for the interviewer. It is important to have at least...
