🔥“It’s All About Connections”—But Is It Really? Let’s Talk CVs.


You’ve heard it before:

“You don’t need a CV. Just have the right connections!”


Sounds great, right?


But here's the twist—some of the same people shouting this are sliding into my inbox asking for FREE CV templates.

Make it make sense.


Let’s be real. If CVs didn’t matter, employers wouldn’t ask for them.

Recruiters wouldn’t request them.

And I wouldn’t be booked and busy helping job seekers fix theirs.


📌 Here’s the truth:

Yes, connections matter—a lot. Research shows that over 80% of jobs are filled through referrals.

But guess what those referrals often lead to?

👉 A request for your CV.


So before you dismiss the power of a strong resume, remember this:

Your CV speaks before you ever walk into the room (or Zoom call).

It’s your first impression. Your pitch. Your proof.


💡 My advice?

Master the art of CV writing. It’s not just a document—it’s a skill.

A good CV opens doors.

A great one gets you in the room.


So yes—network, connect, build relationships.

But also:

📝 Polish that CV.

🧠 Stay sharp.

🚀 Stay ready.


Because if you don’t, someone else will.
