Then join YourWork!
The YourWork platform not only offers you the opportunity to present your work, but also helps you to find interested partners, employees or employers. Discover the jobs that are made for you. At the same time, you can look for support for your projects and network yourself. YourWork is the first social and professional network that is exclusively about your skills. With photos, videos and texts you show the community what makes your project, hobby or company special. By the way, you become visible online on YourWork even without your own website.
YourWork is simple and intuitive: create a profile and present yourself, your company or your projects from the best side. Automatically, you create a digital portfolio that focuses on the quality of your work. Short video clips in your story combine to create a personal video application that can be viewed by potential new employers. At the same time, you can see who you’d like to work with and make contact. Let the community know what you can do or what you are looking for and get an impression of your counterpart in advance. Discover new inspirations on other user profiles and share your work with network members.
In my best interest, I decided at times to tweak in Cunningham’s Law by asking questions that contained errors to solicit more of a response. Initially, I expected a bad response. Yet, strangely, that didn’t happen. Here’s what did.
I signed up to be a conversational English teacher to several Japanese students. It made my job harder when they were quiet or gave me only one-word answers.
When I showed a quiet kid a picture of an elephant and asked “what is this?” they got bored, moved on, cried, anything but answer my question. But if I said, “this is a giraffe” they would all stand up and scream “no, that’s an elephant!” — and suddenly they’re all engaged. By being ignorant about a topic they are knowledgeable in, it gives them some authority in the conversation and that builds up their confidence.
It works surprisingly well on adults too.
