Talk: Insight into job hunting and the confidence to get the job you want.
Career advice from my cat
I've spent 12 years working in recruitment and helping people find jobs. During that time I've read thousands of CVs, and watched people tie themselves in knots over things that probably don't matter as much as they think.
Meanwhile, my cat has somehow developed a far healthier attitude to life.
He knows his worth. He doesn't take rejection personally. He doesn't spend six months replaying an embarrassing moment in his head. He is persistent to the point of being annoying, and he has a remarkable ability to identify what he actually wants instead of what looks impressive.
This talk uses questionable cat behaviour to explore some surprisingly useful lessons for job seekers, including confidence, persistence, networking, handling rejection, and figuring out what actually matters to you in a role.
Perfect for students, graduates, career changers, job seekers, and anyone who's ever spent three days overthinking an interview answer.
