Confidence and Values
- Low confidence can be good -> work harder to improve, don't over promote (so can impress easier)
- Focus on personal values:
- reliability, open-mindedness, honesty, calm, education
- Don't sacrifice personal values for a company - express it in work
- Look specifically for companies/organisation that share the values
- There's a comfort zone, a stretch zone, and a panic zone. Avoid the panic, but don't be afraid of the stretch
Personal Branding
- Employers will google you, so keep a good personal brand identity online
- Keep it consistent to what you want to be associated with
- Strong brand with strong portfolio can be useful
- Profile picture should be professional, either a picture or a self-portrait
- Keep personal introductions concise
- Your work will get lost with macro-hashtags
- More hashtags!
CV
- 1-2 pages is typical
- If you're bored reading it, so is an employer
- Avoid block text
- Why you'll help the company
- Don't be too artsy, if you're gonna do it, do it right
