Personal Branding: Winning CV & Cover Letter Writing is a presentation by Silas Magawi of EDAS Consulting Services (Nairobi, Kenya) for South Sudanese Audience at a weekend masterclass on CV and Cover Letter Writing organised by Excellence Foundation for South Sudan
This presentation is part of Job Hunting Skills training delivered in SDC, it focuses on how to write a good resume and on the tips and tricks for a good interview.
The coronavirus pandemic has put 100 million jobs at risk in India alone. The numbers globally are not any better.
Its probably the most uncertain time in history, for employed people and job seekers.
However, companies will take time to rebuild their workforce. Firms will focus on hiring for unique and specific skills. Companies will want to be and stay lean.
Thus, with more people competing for the same position, screening and interviewing processes will change and tighten up.
And your Interviewing skills can make or break your opportunity.
Are you ready to stand out from the crowd?
Join us in this live webinar on 4th July 2020, 12 noon (45 mins). Dr. Debolina Dutta will bring together 28 years of HR experience to help you amp your interviewing skills and differentiate yourself in this crucial conversation.
She will cover:
1 What employers are looking for (more so now)
2 Typical interviewing styles
3 How do you prepare to differentiate yourself.
This webinar is meant for Students, faculty, young workers, and anybody seeking a job in these troubling times. We want to help young workers and students prepare for a new way of hiring and working in the new normal.

How fast can you change four tires? One hour? Ten minutes? A few years ago I witnessed a Formula One team do it in
2.7 seconds. They said a perfect run would be just one second. In everything that I do I strive to reach that one
second – that perfect test score, that perfect presentation, that perfect career. After speaking with Jake Woodson, a
recent hire, Dion Chen, and other industry professionals, I know that my personality and passion lies in sales and
trading. Through my unique athletic background and passion, I will provide competitiveness and drive that will set a
benchmark for future interns. I cannot wait to sit on a trading floor, execute trades, and engage in research while
receiving mentorship from the most world-‐renowned investment bank. A career with Goldman Sachs is my one second
and this is how I will help Goldman reach its own one second ideal:
