You can increase your career success with these five top tips from Monica:

Tip #1
Get clear with your career direction. If you don’t know where you should be, finding your ideal job will seem impossible. Get inspired, identify the obstacles, set goals and enjoy your career journey.

Tip #2
Make sure your resume and cover letter work for you. Your application needs to be competency and skills-based, rather than an old outdated chronological format. You never get a second chance to make a first impression!

Tip #3
Know your strengths and be able to share them with everyone. Most people get stuck for words when asked what they are good at. Take the time to identify where you excel, really ‘own’ this information and share with confidence.

Tip #4
Present yourself in the best possible way at an interview: Self-assured, prepared and ready.

Tip #5
Develop a good networking plan to find out where the vacancies and job opportunities are. Meet key people who have the power to give you a really good job!
