Can you live without the Internet for 7 days? We did....

So a little backstory.

Students in our country protested against a quota system that reserves almost HALF of the highest paying government jobs for the descendants of freedom fighters. 

Well...kinda unfair, isn't it?

Considering the war was 53 years ago...

The government eventually agreed. 

But they were a bit too late...

Other than the student deaths, something a lot LOT more horrible happened.

The other political parties and terrorists teamed up...

And went on a maniac serial fire lighting spree destroying many important structures. 

Including the data center.

So no Internet.

In the entire freaking country.

The results?

• no planes or trains

• no contact outside the country

• even contact INSIDE the country costs more

• people rushed after newspapers 

• mobile banking said byeee

• TV made a comeback

As if we were suddenly plugged back in 2010.

This made me realize more than ever just how damn dependent we got on Internet. 

Or to be more exact...technology. 

And to think, technology keeps growing day by day like some sort of a parasite on steroids.

So, my question is...

Are you keeping up with it?

Or are you coughing up dust as its racing past you?

Let me cut the chase and just get to it.

Companies today no longer care about paper CVs.

Yes, they still want it but only as a formality.

Now they 

• Google search you

• go through your LinkedIn account

• gauge your abilities through online sources 

In other words, it's time to build your personal brand. One that 

• highlights your skills

• brings you in touch with industry leaders 

• gives you the unfair advantage over competitors 

I don't know WHAT you're waiting for...

But hey, I think it's time to stop waiting and start working.

And if you're wondering HOW to build it?

Well, you're in the right spot!

I'll walk you through every step of the way.

All you have to do is keep an eye for the next emails.

Trust me, you don't wanna miss them...

That’s it for today!

See ya next email.

Until then,

Take care, stay safe and drink lots of water.

Love,

Khadija
