Why CVs don’t matter when it comes to success in life


There are many types of intelligence, rates of maturity and reasons of circumstance.

FROM my experience as a CEO, I can tell you that CVs are poor predictors of success in life. I don’t believe in fancy degrees or paper credentials. Over the course of my career, I have met many people (with the most outstanding degrees and/or world-class Fortune 500 experience) who are idiots in life.

I have also met many people (without any education or any world-class Fortune 500 experience) who are superstars in life.
