HI All, a quick message about the next WZCC event which will again be hosted by Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala at the Cafe Spice, Albert Doc. This time we have Cyrus Mewawalla who will be discussing his career to date, what he has learned along the way and then of course his view of where tech stocks in particular are likely to go and why.
Looking for a new job? Or even a contractor role? Unsure about whether you should move or stay where you are? Not getting the promotion you deserve? Then you need to attend … WZCC is delighted to announce the return of Kris Wadia, co-presenting with Perses Sethna, for an intellectually stimulating session on ‘re-imagining your career’.

Kris Wadia will then ask you to imagine yourself as the product and apply Perses’ rules to the art and science of managing your own career, whether as a school-leaver, contractor, interim or employee.

You will learn the answers to: What is the core Value Proposition that connects you at an emotional level with recruiters? Who is your best hidden friend when furthering your career aspirations?

One thing is for sure, technology skews the income distribution and creates, what economists call, a ‘winner-takes-all-market’.
