Quick Career Tips
The 2-Minute Rule
When networking, always follow up within 48 hours. A simple 'Nice meeting you' email keeps the connection warm.
Story, Not List
In interviews, use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to turn achievements into compelling stories.
Keywords Matter
Mirror the job posting language in your resume. If they say 'manage', don't write 'oversee'. ATS systems are literal.
Ask This Question
End every interview with: 'What does success look like in this role after 90 days?' Shows you're results-oriented.
LinkedIn Hack
Comment meaningfully on posts in your field 3x per week. Visibility beats connection requests every time.
Salary Negotiation
Never give the first number. Say: 'I'm looking for a competitive offer based on the role's responsibilities.'
