“Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.“
Ernest Hemingway
Why this website?
– I hate to talk about myself and my achievements so when people ask me questions about my background, I prefer to tell them to check my website! 🙂
– It is very hard to summarize everything I have done in a one-page resume or in a short job interview. This detailed CV allows clients, potential clients, partners, potential partners, potential employers, recruiters and HR to learn more about me.
– The third reason is because an employer once accused me of lying on my CV during a job interview in London back in 2013. He told me that he did not have a master’s degree despite his advanced age and he said that it was impossible to have so many master’s degrees at such a young age! He also claimed that I had never worked for Accenture after calling one of his friends at Accenture London who never heard about me (even if I told him that I only worked at Accenture France as an analyst/junior consultant). This crazy experience gave me the idea to create my personal website with as much detail as possible about my education and professional experience so that no one could ever accuse me of lying on my rĂ©sumĂ© again.
