On awareness,
I remember the first job I ever applied for. I had sent my 3 paged CV with the most irrelevant details(Primary school education, Local government area etc). I sent that e-mail with “Please find attached my CV” alone in the body of the e-mail. Days became weeks and I still kept waiting for a job from the one single company I applied to.
Looking back, I can’t help but laugh. At that time, I was so clueless about the job market but when I eventually became aware, the difference was clear and I began to help review CVs of people in my “then” category.
You see, awareness is very important. You need to stay updated of the environment you’re in, know what’s applicable and determine how that influences your “strategy”. This is generally applicable everywhere for businesses and individuals.
Read, learn, be aware. With social media, it’s easier to stay aware of the right things. There’s really no excuse anymore.
I hope to see you smash your goals.
