Take the path less traveled and learn from your mistakes. Don’t just let life happen around you; control your future. Learn to ask questions, set small goals, and dream of big ones. Absorb any criticism and let it fuel you. Convince others that you are worthy of your dream, and show them that you are willing to put up a damn good fight for it.

I don't understand this irony - valuable things like cars, gold, diamond are made up of hard materials but most valuable things like money, contracts and books are made up of soft paper.

Reading is the noblest of all the hobbies, that is why people mention it so frequently in their resume even if they don't read much.

If someone out of work knows only three words about their impending job-hunt, I’m willing to bet thosethree words will be: resumes/CV, interviews, and networking.

Somebody is born. Somebody goes to school. Somebody learns to conform. Somebody types a CV. Somebody gets a job. Somebody follows orders. Somebody gets a golden watch. And then, eventually, Somebody dies. And, a Nobody is buried.

School programs the schooled to type a CV. Life inspires the unschooled to type a business plan.

Give a typical employee a million, and, he is most likely to use the money to print his CV on fancier paper.

A huge number of jobs that are filled are never advertised to the public, or if they are, they’re filled by people who have a connection to the employer.

Your digital footprints speak volumes than your CV

Your LinkedIn profile should leave no room for doubt about the kind of job you’re looking for and why you’re the best person for that position.

Your LinkedIn profile must be consistent with how you portray yourself elsewhere. Not only should your official résumé match the experience you list on LinkedIn, but it also should be consistent with Twitter and public Facebook information.

Your LinkedIn profile must include keywords for specific skills that match your desired job.

Make sure your LinkedIn profile has a targeted headline. Not only should the headline clearly state your career focus, it’s also the most important place to add a keyword or two, because this influences how you appear in search results
