@DanielPriestley Fantastic perspective.

[Daniel Priestley @DanielPriestley]

If you’re a UK citizen, did you pay £17,000 in taxes last year? If you’re a family of 4, did you pay £64k of taxes as a household?

If not, someone else did on your behalf. A tiny group of people (1%) pay about 30% of the income taxes.

This tiny little group of Brits aren’t just our Dentists, Doctors, Professionals, Engineers, Pilots, Entertainers, Executives, Business Owners and Entrepreneurs, they are also the biggest tax slaves for everyone too.

A person earning £150k is paying £60k in tax. A person earning £30k is paying £6.2k in taxes.

The high earner is making 5x more and paying 10x more in tax.

Given the government spends £17k per person - The higher earner generates a surplus of £43k in taxes while the lower earner requires £11k of someone else’s taxes to cover their portion of government spending.

It takes an income of £60k to generate £17k of taxes. So, very few people in the economy are able to cover the costs of themselves, let alone their families too. A tiny number of people can cover their own costs and generate a surplus for society.

When you hear people talking about how greedy the rich are, and how we need to make life harder for them, it’s worth considering that if they were to stop earning or to leave, the entire system would collapse.

The issue we have in the UK is not enough rich people. We need to either develop them ourselves or import them from elsewhere. We absolutely can not afford to lose them.

As we approach an election, be sceptical of any party who claims they can fund spending through higher taxes on the rich. We already have that! What we need is a party that has a plan to create more rich people or invite them from abroad. It’s never been easier for rich people and high earners to live and work anywhere - of course they’ll go wherever they are treated best.

The UKs survival is directly linked to the number of high earners - best not to drive them away.

One of the most effective ways to improve your chances of getting an interview…

Make sure your resume includes all the things that the job description covers.

For recruiters and hiring managers, it’s hard to ignore a candidate that is a great match for the job.

[Job Search Bible @JobSearchBible]

@RosserJobs Makes a massive difference. Have heard many examples where the successful candidate was chosen over others because it was obvious from their prep that they wanted it more.

[Job Search Bible @JobSearchBible]

@randomrecruiter Completely agree. Many of the boiler plate fancy formats are style over substance, and scream inauthenticity

[Job Search Bible @JobSearchBible]

@JamesClear One of the best books ever in my opinion. Well worth reading again to get back on / stay on the good habit train

[Job Search Bible @JobSearchBible]

Fast forward 10 years. What do you want your career to look like?

Target company? Ideal role? More flexibility?

WRITE IT DOWN.

Now think about what you need to do next year to get on that path.

Then think about what you need to do next week to make a start.

THEN DO IT.

@HeyJeffFelten Congrats! 10k coming up!

[Job Search Bible @JobSearchBible]

@adityatheverma Happy birthday! 🎉 Can you share you’re your “crazy cover letter”?

[Job Search Bible @JobSearchBible]

@randomrecruiter Got to give them something to work with!! Going the extra mile always increases your chances.

[Job Search Bible @JobSearchBible]

@GreatResume Agreed - a cover letter can really make the difference between getting the invite to interview or not.

@randomrecruiter As the old saying goes…”people don’t leave jobs, they leave bad managers”

P = Presentation

It’s well-known that employers only spend a few seconds skimming resumes. And you only get one chance to make a first impression.

The content of your resume is crucial, but so is the presentation. Focus on formatting & white space to make it easy on the eye.

Here's an easy-to-remember formula for building a winning resume...

We call it the STAMP technique...

M = Measurable achievements

When you talk about your prior experiences and achievements, make sure you do so in a measurable and quantifiable way.

Example:

“Made changes to 15 procedures that resulted in a 10% increase in productivity.”
