the difference between

being effective and being underestimated. CVs are all about blowing your own trumpet to make a person who does not know you sit up and take notice. Bullshit artists and con men are practiced in the art but I find it difficult - to blow my own trumpet that is. Effective people generally have a slave to blow their trumpet for them so if you've got to do it yourself, you are not worthy of the rank you esteem to. If my deeds don't stand out on their own merit then writing about them seems a way of pandering to an inefficient and image is all that counts meritocracy. So when someone tells me excuses for why they have not done something, when they have to justify their actions and when they are in a leadership position, they strike me as false big noters or rogues and in a worst case situation possibly as a crook. Someone like this has a lot of ground to make up for me to ever respect him. Particularly if they have gone around selling and promoting expensive Business Management and Self Improvement products which are all style and simplistic slogans. The product is a scam and the promoters are scammers. Current Affairs programmes are full of shonks and shonky practices and people are taken in by these villains every day. But generally the villains don't go to church - unless it's to develop an image to boost clientele.
