General Advice: AI, resilience, standing out & networking
Embrace Technology AI can help refine CVs, practice answers, or scan applications. It can check your CV for typos, suggest buzzwords, and even rehearse interview answers - but it can’t convincingly say ‘I’m a team player’ with a straight face. Resilience Job searching and career growth aren’t always smooth. Rejection is just life’s way of telling you to get better coffee and try again. Standing out Highlight your unique qualities consistently. Be the person people remember - not the one whose LinkedIn headline is just ‘Hardworking Professional.’ | | Talk to people Build meaningful connections: colleagues, mentors, recruiters. Your network is like Wi-Fi - it works best when you maintain a strong connection, not when you only remember it exists during emergencies. Meet people, use your contacts Informational chats, coffee meetings, LinkedIn messages can open doors. Some of your best opportunities might come from someone you’ve known for years - or just met last week. Final thought Careers are marathons, not sprints. Stay visible, adaptable, resilient, and your next opportunity will often find you as much as you find it. |
