Differentiate yourself from other candidates and make a strong impact with recruiters

With so many high-skilled candidates competing for the same position it is crucial for a job seeker to find ways to excel. Presently, submitting an online Resume is not enough anymore to be invited to an interview.

Despite the new technologies and tools available; reaching out directly to recruiters and decision makers remains the best way to stand out. For both, recruiters and job hunters it is difficult to keep up and learn how to use them all, especially social media and networking platforms, but phone calls will never die!

How to sale when you are an introvert

The words “sale” and “introvert” doesn't seem to go along very well. As an introvert you might be scary getting out of your comfort zone and meet with potential clients face to face; sounds familiar?

A salesperson must be professional, customer oriented, knowledgeable, not pushy or aggressive and spend more time listening; therefore, an introvert can become great salesman/saleswoman. Introverts have good verbal and non verbal communication skills, tend to build long-term relationships and create loyalties.

The Internet of everything, the new economic wave

In a few years you car, lights, heating system, shoes, clothes, fridge, oven and other appliances and electronic devices might be all connected to the internet. In the near future what will redefine our lives is the analysis and interpretation of data by individuals, companies and other institutions.

This is not sci-fi anymore; many things are already connected to the internet. For instance, automobile manufacturers are offering vehicles with built-in Wi-Fi hotspots, allowing passenger to check emails, play games, stream music and video and determine better routes with the navigation technology. Sensors can alert your insurance company, authorities and medical assistance when you’ve been hit; the GPS tracking can pinpoint the location and remotely block the ignition in case of theft. There are other advantages in the horizon like updating the car’s software and reprogramming it remotely in an event of a recall.

This major revolution in communications and technologies will provide many opportunities. During the 8th Edition of the Toronto Global Forum, a group of experts discussed the changes in our world and the impact that this will have in our daily lives.
