If you are looking for a job right now, watch the full video. Because I'm debunking 5 job seeking myths: 1. Myth: You need to meet all the job requirements to apply. * Reality: -> Employers often list more qualifications than necessary. -> If you meet most and feel confident, go for it! 2.
Are your business etiquettes rusty? Strong business etiquettes show professionalism & builds trust. And they are both key-elements for success in today’s world. Think about it for a moment: —> Do you feel comfortable initiating conversations & making connections?
You DON’T become a great negotiator in the boardroom. You become one at the coffee counter. Think about it: The person who asks for ‘just a little less sugar’ at Starbucks The one who negotiates timelines with a client The colleague who says, ‘Can we explore another way to do this?’
I wasn’t always the "confidence is my superpower" person I am today. In my first big job interview years ago, I thought I nailed the interview. I had clear answers, and a strong experience. Yet, I still didn’t get the job. Why? My body language told a different story.
