Hello, it has been the longest time ever since we sat down, me and you and talk after my last post which I hope you enjoyed the read. But no worries, I got you covered. I have been silent researching and trying to understand what you need to know, when and how… as a 23 year old trying to figure what works for me I stumbled upon a conversation that I believe without further ado we should dive in.
Did you know that we are evolving to a generation that apart from your CV you will need another two documents that will be part of your portfolio!, I know, right. Since I now know, it is time you knew too. The resume, the digital portfolio and your financial portfolio are pretty much what your employer and future employers will deem fit to assign you any given task.
The resume is what we all carry to our interviews and uneven ending job hunts in search of a livelihood. But let’s be real and burry the nonsense, none of the prospective employers dare to look them for more than 8 seconds which purely demands if they will keep up reading or simply feed the dustbin with it. So keep on updating them and be on the lookout to if they are up to date with the new generation version (and for the ones writing CVs the same way taught in high school, Google is your friend, WAKE UP!)
The digital portfolio is simply your online presence, so “gutter in, gutter out” still applies and with some of the stupid thing I see you posting especially generation 26 and below, karma might come back to haunt you real good. Just keep it clean, professional and if possible, let everything you post clearly give the person looking at your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc. a hint of exactly what your profession is. To add on this, develop yourself professional and serious email addresses that make sense… let alone stylakipsbabe120@gmail.com and other xaxa generation kind of email addresses.
The financial portfolio. Bank statements, and you see those non cleared mobile money platform loans and credits that you keep ignoring and have not fully paid? Those are real devils in the making. It is only a crazy person who has not figured out that all the transactions made nowadays are moving from manual records to digital. Actually I doubt there are any transactions done manually unless you are living in another planet and came to say hi here in planet earth. And with this shift means every single transaction be it loans to payments to deposits can easily be linked to you hence bringing forth something called the credit score. Credit scores will either make you or break you in any future business venture, financial growth and freedom, deals or simply proposing to a guy/chic with a clear windscreen of what they want for their future… yes, you heard me right, most marriages will survive on what your credit score is, which will be your net worth and value.
And without further say, why not update those three things in your life then come back and maybe me and you can get talking about something else you never knew no matter how old or young you are.
