Okay, varnishing your nails like this might not be a good idea when you’ve been invited to a job interview (but perhaps it depends on the job you’re looking for!). And not every Personnel Manager is impressed by a creative CV/résumé. However, Robby Leonardi, a New York-based designer, seems to have been successful with his Super Mario-inspired CV.

My favourites?

I think we would all like to be “sharper, smarter, and far more focused”, wouldn’t we? If these brain exercises from ‘Kwik Learning’ can help, then let’s give them a try.
They remind me of the exercises I’m learning at the moment with my Lifekinetik trainer here in Germany. They’re helping my brain to function better and, in the future, will be helping my workshop participants, too! 😉
