Know Your Skills

Get to know yourself. Understand your strengths & weaknesses. The better you know your talents and areas where you can improve on, the more you can identity the right opportunities for you. The better you understand your weaknesses the more you can improve on them.


Research

Once you understand your skills and competencies its important to do your research.
