Why wait for the future? Below are 5 things you can do now to improve your worth:
Start your personal website or blog –these days, owning a blog is simple as ABC. With your device, all you need is an app – WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr, Instagram, etc., and you’re up and running. Find out something that interests you and start writing about it regularly – daily, weekly or monthly. Owning a website is not much more difficult. , once you get a domain name registered, it’s all set. Owning a functional blog or website boosts your profile, even when it’s time to look for a job.
Read something new every day – one excuse most students give for not reading is that they don’t like holding books or can’t find books. With your device, you can just hit Google and quickly read up something – Google has something about almost everything. Just give yourself 5 minutes to surf the web for learning purposes, it could be something related to your profession/job/studies (like an Engineering magazine for an Engineering student) or just some random idea. You’ll learn a lot.
Bookmark relevant websites – when you find random but useful materials online, the best thing is to immediately bookmark it. This may not be useful right away, but will eventually come in handy. You could call it an online library. Also, when you find useful text/article, you can simply email it to yourself and read it later.
Build a professional profile online and offline – in this internet age, your visibility online determines your prospects a lot. So use services like LinkedIn and About.me to create a professional resume. You should type up a CV (and passport, scanned/photographed certificates) and store on your mobile for easy access when you need to apply somewhere, even if you’re not actively on the job hunt.
Volunteer, offline and online – there are a lot of causes you could start or join. For one, you could start a volunteer group dedicated to keeping your school/community clean. You could volunteer at a school, hospital etc. The good thing about this is that it gives you a kind of working experience and your psyche benefits from doing good
