I’ve seen too many job seekers make these mistakes — don’t let these happen to you!
1- Not figuring out your CAREER DIRECTION, skills and expertise before starting your job search journey
2- Assuming that your RESUME is good enough even though you’ve last updated it a long time ago with outdated advice from the wrong people.
3- Applying to TOO FEW job positions and expecting that every company you applied to will 100% invite you for an interview.
4- Applying RANDOMLY to every single job out there, but did not spend time reviewing the job description for suitability.
5- Spending TOO MUCH TIME consuming online content, but not enough time on job search activities daily.

Here’s what you should do before it becomes a serious problem in your career:
1- LIST YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS
— both big and small
2- TRY SOMETHING CREATIVE
— Get outside of your comfort zone and explore
3- MASTER A NEW SKILL
— Confidence comes from becoming competent in something you’re currently struggling with
4- HELP SOMEONE TODAY
— Joy is in supporting someone else would really appreciate it
5- DEFINE YOUR OWN SUCCESS
— Don’t compare yourself with others. Do what matters to you.
❓Do you have high self-esteem? Or do you often doubt your own talent and abilities? Join the conversation on my LinkedIn.

Here are 3 things I was naturally bad at (and eventually mastered) for career growth:
1- PUBLIC SPEAKING
I prefer hiding and doing the work in the background. But it reached a point that was stopping me from moving ahead in my career, so I had to really my speaking and presentation skills.
2- ATTENTION TO DETAIL
I’m naturally a very big picture person, so doing detailed work was very challenging for a long time. It paid great rewards in my career later on!
3- SMALL TALK
I’m an introvert, so go figure! Nowadays I can get along with pretty much anyone!

Whether you like it or not, we all have a reputation — it’s how people perceive you at work (offline) or on LinkedIn (online). How?
OFFLINE:
1- Your work deliverables is where your boss or seniors judge your quality, skills and value.
2- Your communication and collaboration with others are how your boss judge if you’re ready for a leadership role.
ONLINE:
1- Your LinkedIn Profile is the main page where your people judge your professional value and work experiences
2- Your LinkedIn activity is how people judge your attitude and professionalism.
