Your Dream Opportunity is in Reach!

Do you have what it takes to land the opportunity of your dreams? Yes, actually, you do! It’s a rhetorical question but we wanted to share these little tips on getting what you need to propel you forward beyond an impressive resume. Your dream opportunity is in your reach!

Be A Sponge

“Diversified experience and education. I’ve held several different hats in many different fields of work, but many times because my experience isn’t specific to one area and because I have not finished my college degree, I get docked “points” for lack of experience.” - Rachel Woods

Do the internship. Apply to volunteer. Glue your face to a free online course. Stick your nose into work outside of your job description. All of these are ways to sharpen your skill set and gain exposure to leverage to your advantage in a competitive space. Experience comes in many forms. Don’t let a lack of titles and textbook experience discourage you.

Make A Connection

“Just a chance, and a good mentor! I’ve taught myself so many diverse skills in a variety of disciplines, I would love to become a Master Of My Craft under a dedicated professional.” - Hannah Roth

We know you’ve heard, it’s not about what you know but who you know. Networking is gold!. Everyday we are taking steps forward in our personal and professional endeavors through meaningful connections. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and introduce yourself. You have lots to offer. There’s no place for comparison in the world of networking. You never know, you could be just the person someone needs!

Pay Yourself Back In Time

“Time. Away from current client work, so I can focus on my startup idea and to compile my portfolio and draft out some new works.” - Josh Lim

It seems as though there is never enough time in a day and with the ongoing pandemic, time is almost non-existent. One solid way to gain time is to reclaim your time. Though we have no control over it, make it work for you! What is something you want to start? Finally check off your to-do list? Need time to focus on? Block that time off, put your phone on DND and use your time as you desire. Consistently dedicating time to yourself gives the opportunity for your thoughts and ideas to become reality.Time waits for no one, take it!
