3. Your Resume: Think of your resume as your golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, only this time, the factory is full of jobs and you’re looking to bag the golden one! Make it crisp, make it interesting, make it YOU.

5. Questions: Don’t leave your curiosity at the door. No question is too big, small, or silly when it comes to your career. Remember, the only dumb question is the one not asked.
