CV Disaster: People missing opportunities

It  is very common for job seekers to say "there are no Jobs".
I have noticed that even when there are jobs, there are no qualified people or the qualified people have a poor way of showcasing their skills.

Recently, there was a vacancy for an accountant in the organization I work. I reached out to small social media groups that I belonged to, requesting for qualified CVs, stating the requirement for the job and channel of submission. I made the description very brief such that any person that received it could copy and paste the opportunity easily for a friend of family.

2015 Customer Service Week: My Experience so Far

I have years of experience as a Customer Service/ Client Relations Representative and beyond. It is the worst and best of running a company.

I shared a quote on Facebook recently that says.

"The Trend is, Always take care of the Customers, So What is Next?.

My Trend is, Always take care of the Employees and happy Employees will definitely take care of Customers"

What About the saying "The Customer is Always right" Are they?
