Can you send me (name of *expert* hidden by me)'s CV?
I'm interested to know how deep his/her knowledge of the process
is.
The PR person came back to me with a spin answer that had zero information about the *expert's* background that would qualify her/him as an expert.
I once again requested the *expert's* CV - curriculum vitae - so I could vet the person to see if he/she was really an
expert.
The PR person never responded back.
This *expert* is someone you might see on a TV show.
Why should this be of importance to you? Do you think that all the hosts of TV shows you see are real
professionals?
What is the definition of a professional?
Just because a person has a TV show, does that make them an expert on a topic?
Should you trust their
advice?
I know I can answer the above questions, but can you?
If you're going to put thousands of your hard-earned dollars in the balance to do a job at your home, don't you think you should be getting advice from a person that has these minimal
qualifications:
- has actually done the job
- has done the job at paying customers' homes for decades
Yeah, I thought so. Don't ever HOPE the advice you're getting is going to work.
You need to know that the person giving the advice has walked the walk.
Remember, you HOPE for things when you can't control the outcome of that thing. You can control where you get expert advice all the time.
