Invest 30 minutes a week in upskilling (free online courses, webinars, or workshops). Small steps add up.
Practice STAR answers (Situation, Task, Action, Result). It keeps your responses clear and structured.
Set a daily routine: apply to 2–3 quality jobs instead of 20 random ones. Quality beats quantity.
Always address it to a specific person (if possible). “Dear Hiring Manager” is okay, but a name makes it more personal.
Keep your CV to 2 pages max. Highlight achievements with numbers (e.g. “Increased sales by 20%”) instead of listing duties.
Keep learning; knowledge has no limits, and continuous growth opens doors to new opportunities.
