People talk a lot about pensions, but university has been just as big a scam.
They sold you the idea that it would solve all your problems, get you a job, and be worth the investment.…

It’s becoming more and more common for me to collect, condense, and organize the knowledge I come across into skills.
An example from the other day:
I want to improve my SEO skills, and I see that Semrush has hundreds of pages about the topic.
I have an SEO skill for my agents that’s turning into something pretty insane.
The skill has grown so much over time that I’ve had to split it into several more specialized subskills.
💎 This guy made a list of the best people in SEO.
I asked 6.1 Sol to analyze what each of them does and collect their learnings.
And I added them to my SEO skill.
Here’s the updated prompt so you can use it too👇

And copy "The SEO and AI visibility operating system"
Launching new products is scary.
A ton of hours spent on something that might end up being worth nothing. And the closer you get to the finish line, the more you want to say fuck it all.
A ton of respect for anyone trying to get a project off the ground.
From the outside, it looks hard. But once you get into it, you discover two pretty curious things:
I think the apparent arrogance of a lot of entrepreneurs makes more sense when you realize what they’re trying to do.
It’s not that they think they’re always right. Or that they’re better than everyone else. Or even that they’re the right people to start a company.
💰 Day 13 building an investment tool from scratch.
What am I working on now?
Mainly distribution.
I’m working on the SEO pages while the backend moves forward (what a surprise), and thinking about ways to distribute the product.

🇨🇭 How do you find a job in Switzerland?
I’ve found a job in Switzerland twice. Both times without much work experience.
I’ve also been on the other side, hiring people.
How did I do it?
Here are my tips 👇

1️⃣ Your CV is a sales page, not a historical record.
The same principles apply:
→ It should be understandable in 6 seconds → It should talk about benefits, not qualities → It should build trust
That’s it. The rest is details.
- 3
2️⃣ A structure that works:
💬 First things first: Name, phone number, email, LinkedIn and portfolio (if you have one).
💥 Elevator Pitch: 3–4 lines where you sum up who you are, your key strengths and the value you bring. It’s the trailer. Make them want to watch the whole movie.
💼 Experience: Company, role, dates. But here’s the important part...
- 4
For experience, forget about duties.
Nobody cares that you “managed projects.”
What matters:
→ What you achieved → How much impact it had → What changed because of you
Use the STAR method: Situation, Task, Action, Result.
Example: “Reduced onboarding time by 40%, from 3 weeks to 10 days”
- 5
📖 Education: Degree, institution, year.
🛠️ Skills: Languages, software, technical tools, etc...
- 6
3️⃣ Format
One page. Two max if you have 10+ years of experience.
Space is valuable. Only include things worth their weight in gold. No filler.
Clean design: plenty of white space, wide margins, professional font. Avoid weird tables, too many columns and heavy images.
Less is more.

4️⃣ The war against the robots:
Many companies use ATS (software that filters CVs before a human sees them).
Read the job ad and look for keywords. Include them word for word in your CV.
Always save it as a PDF (unless they explicitly ask for Word). The layout won’t shift.
- 8
5️⃣ What sets you apart from the rest:
→ Relevant personal projects → Certifications that matter → Publications or talks → Volunteering with impact
This shows you have initiative. That you don’t just do what you’re asked.
- 9
6️⃣ Last point: tailor your CV to each job posting.
If they’re looking for leadership, move that experience to the top or highlight it. If they’re looking for creativity, highlight your innovative projects.
It’s not cheating. It’s being smart.
Your CV isn’t a static document. It’s a sales tool that should evolve.
