2. Draft a straightforward CV

Market yourself strategically by crafting a curriculum vitae that sums up what you have achieved, what you can do, and what you are looking for. Make it as straightforward as possible.

Start making connections as early as possible. By doing so, you can keep a list of people whom you can contact should you need a reference for a job or seek advice from regarding offers.

How you think, deal with other people, and act are the sole elements of what you are as a professional. Create your own positive branding and style so you can easily stand out amongst the pool of aspiring applicants.

5. Find passion in whatever you do

Never lose your sense of passion in everything that you do. Whichever path you decide to take, make sure to always be passionate on doing your job to achieve positive results.

6. Believe that your dreams are bigger than your fears

Don’t hesitate to push yourself to achieve something great. Live outside the box and continue to pursue your dreams. It might take you a little while to find your dream job but your hard work and perseverance will pay off in due time.

7. Never stop learning

Continue to challenge yourself and obtain knowledge even after school. Take short courses on skills you want to improve or develop.

8. Do your research

Before jumping on a job offer that lands on your hand, research about the job and company you would want to work at.

Invest your time on honing yourself and potentials. Work on your strengths but address your weaknesses as well.
