Nice. You must be waiting to recruit a Web Designer for your website also, right?:-) On Tue, Aug 14, 2012 at 8:03 PM, Andrew Mecca <andrewmecca@gmail.com> wrote:

GUYS,

I have received a number of CVs. But most of you have not sent any cover letters with your CVs and you have not told me what you are good at so I feel its important to advice.

Always state what you are know you are good at in the email you send a potential employer or what makes you stand out or why you think you are best for the position.

But that aside, most of the CVs I have received already are very impressive and you will be shortlisted. Email closes at 10:00am tomorrow.

I am being realistic. Mecca talked of talent - 'I have received some from some very talented young individuals" - you can never realistically tell talent by just looking at the CV - sometimes. That is what I mean. I must have failed to express myself in a better way. I have interviewed people before, having picked them based on what was on the CV. When it came to the interview proper, I realized that some CVs are made of copy-pasted material. From that time, I realized that I could coin the word "paper tigers" and it holds true, if any of you ever interviewed people. For that reason, I never take papers very seriously. I take the real work seriously. Some will agree with me. Some will not. Such is life:-) On Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 12:30 PM, richard were <richard.were@yahoo.com>wrote:

People have different strengths, some have their strengths in expressing themselves in writing  - like through CVs, others verbally - the interviews you are talking about but I thing its only fair you judge talent based on the output of the work done. There is a very high possibility that the persons you both interviewed had problems in presentation and wish you assessed them based on their work output. Also remember, talent means different things to different people and probably you did not know what you were looking for in the CVs hence made a earlier conclusion of highly talented candidates. ________________________________ From: Moses <mosenetk@gmail.com> To: Skunkworks Mailing List <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2012 1:08 PM Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] TECH SAVVY FRESH GRAD CVS REQUIRED URGENT Odhiambo you're right, I have seen some very 'talented individuals CVs'  till the interviews came and I am hard pressed to even pick any of the short-listed.

People have different strengths, some have their strengths in expressing themselves in writing - like through CVs, others verbally - the interviews you are talking about but I thing its only fair you judge talent based on the output of the work done. There is a very high possibility that the persons you both interviewed had problems in presentation and wish you assessed them based on their work output.

Also remember, talent means different things to different people and probably you did not know what you were looking for in the CVs hence made a earlier conclusion of highly talented candidates.

Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] TECH SAVVY FRESH GRAD CVS REQUIRED URGENT

Odhiambo you're right, I have seen some very 'talented individuals CVs' till the interviews came and I am hard pressed to even pick any of the short-listed.

I am being realistic.

Mecca talked of talent - 'I have received some from some very talented young individuals" - you can never realistically tell talent by just looking at the CV - sometimes. That is what I mean. I must have failed to express myself in a better way. I have interviewed people before, having picked them based on what was on the CV. When it came to the interview proper, I realized that some CVs are made of copy-pasted material. From that time, I realized that I could coin the word "paper tigers" and it holds true, if any of you ever interviewed people. For that reason, I never take papers very seriously. I take the real work seriously. Some will agree with me. Some will not. Such is life:-)

Andrew - We appreciate the information and hope you get the best individual for the work.

Good luck with the recruitment. I am very glad that this forum is opening job avenues for Kenyans.

GUYS,

I have received a number of CVs. But most of you have not sent any cover letters with your CVs and you have not told me what you are good at so I feel its important to advice.

Always state what you are know you are good at in the email you send a potential employer or what makes you stand out or why you think you are best for the position.

But that aside, most of the CVs I have received already are very impressive and you will be shortlisted. Email closes at 10:00am tomorrow.

Thanks AM
