Shooting yourself in the foot

It’s hard not to draw a few conclusions about human nature, when you are working on something as intimate as a client’s career history.

We work with their hopes, dreams and successes.

Most clients are ‘gung ho’. They really, really want that job or promotion.

They send us their old or current resume even before we ask. They’re our bread and butter.

They email the link or PD of the job they want to target. They pay the account in advance and get back to us quickly with information.

They’re a dream to work with.

There are others who don’t send an old or current resume, so we can’t do an assessment and provide a quote.

They miss out because we take those who follow simple instructions. The laggards think, ‘I’ll do it later. No hurry. It’s Saturday. Time to chill’.

They sometimes get passive aggressive, when we tell them, ‘sorry, we’re full of clients’.

‘Oh, I didn’t really want that job anyway’.

Yeah. Right. They’re not right to work with an online writer.

When you make an enquiry, please follow the instructions and supply timely information.

If you don’t, see ya later.
