Dear Job Seekers, when a recruiter asks you what you're upto, don't give an hint that you're idle. Even if you're unemployed, talk of a passion project or a course you're pursuing. They'll take advantage of your desperation! #fromexperience #Careers #IkoKazi #JobSeekers Refrain from giving details of your background and family. You'll be surprised they don't care if you're a first generation or an orphan. They'll use that information in the offer letter quotation. Talk about your work instead!

One thing I have learned when seeking opportunities or help, is to constantly remind myself that I'm not seeking pity, so I communicate my value instead.
There's alot of that nowadays!
What's your experience? What we don't realize sometimes is ~ communicating self-pity when seeking help puts you at a disadvantage. The other party will see you as a burden because your value isn't clear.
