Technique #25 The Nutshell Résumé

Just as job-seeking top managers roll a different written

résumé off their printers for each position they're

applying for, let a different true story about your

professional life roll off your tongue for each listener.

Before responding to "What do you do?" ask yourself,

"What possible interest could this person have in my

answer? Could he refer business to me? Buy from me?

Hire me? Marry my sister? Become my buddy?"

Wherever you go, pack a nutshell about your own

life to work into your communications bag of tricks
