Hack Camp

_Two friends. Who started a journey together!_

**Was this a bad idea?*
**How did we navigate working remotely?*
**Are we still friends?*
We decided to take the plunge and start a business together and then a pandemic hit.

*-->Well here is an update from us.*

✔️To start, It was definitely not a bad idea!!
**We have coached more of hours than both of us can remember!*
**We setup a successful course that supported 12 black entrepreneurs*, _they have gone on to do some incredible work in their respective fields._
**We have setup a mother’s coaching program* _that has been exciting to see flourish._

✔️Working remotely was challenging, we are not gonna lie. _This was a challenge not because we needed to be near each other to do our work; but because we both love each-others company._

⁉️How did we go from *working out together*, to going for *dinners* to *zooms calls* and *more zoom calls.*
So are we still ?
*Of course we are!*
We have always said that our friendship is important and as we grow as friends and business partners *we grow as a stronger unit.*

3 Tips to help you shine and land that dream job!

While there’s no "one magic combination" that will make you be picked instantly, you can optimize your application by adjusting a few things to help you stand out!

✅ 1. Tailor your C.V to the business and role.
💡It's easy to fall into the copy-paste option, but you can shine if you tweak your resume so that the skills you possess that are required for the role are easy to spot.

✅ 2. When writing about your work experience:
✔️Keep it concise (3-5 points)
✔️Always include what you have achieved first.
💡Explain what you have acquired and learned through the experience. Do not just list off your responsibilities and duties.

✅ 3. Give a summary of your experience in the way ONLY YOU can!
✔️Be authentically you
✔️Give your thoughts and impressions and your achievements in your own words!
💡Only you know what you lived through and are proud off! If you aren't your #1 fan, than who else would that be? 😉

☑️ BONUS tip!! Have someone proofread your CV.
✔️Check for typos and spelling errors
✔️Edit awkward sentences, double words and bizarrely placed punctuation marks
💡Even though mistakes are natural, putting your best foot forward in an application will leave a positive impression!
