Hello everyone, welcome to my latest 4-part series to help you land that job after uni! This series will cover what to do before, during, and after a job interview to ensure you leave a positive impression on the interviewers and hopefully help you cinch opportunities! Enjoy!
It is critical to tackle all the requirements in your cover letter as well as your resume, and to be able to answer questions in the interview in a way that highlights you have those values the company is seeking. Even if the company doesn’t have a public ad, research similar positions at different companies and read those job descriptions. Have situations you’ve dealt with in your arsenal for answering situational questions.
It’ll save you a lot of time if you just update your resume every time you start something new! Standard stuff: Use ‘clean’ standard fonts, white A4 paper, single sided, 2 cohesive colours max. Include at least the minimum components or a combination of them: the rough order should be:
Career Objective
Education
Relevant Experience (include key responsibilities and noteworthy performance points)
Extra-Curricular Activities (if relevant)
Skills
Referees (usually just write “available on request”)
This is how I got my first relevant job as an optical assistant, which in a way, led to my current position today. Even whilst I was working as an optical assistant, occasionally we would get a new hire if their resume seemed good and they interviewed well.

Hey, I’m back with another masterpost. I decided to include some of my tips.
Use the forest app to keep you off your phone, your phone is a distractions you face when studying
Try making a to-do list to plan out how much time you take to do each task so you keep track of time
Set rewards i.e. if I finish this task at 9am instead of 9.30am, I’ll watch my favourite tv show for 1 hour instead of 30mins.
How to be disciplined
I guess this is pretty much like a habit. So try to maybe start small, i.e. study 10 mins each day and gradually increase the time limit if you feel comfortable doing so. The reason I chose 10 mins is because it seems like a very short period of time so it’s easier for you to get to work.
How to manage studies with social media
Always set a time period for your school work. For example, after 30 minutes of browsing through your social media, force yourself to do a piece of school work. That way, you will still get work done instead of browsing through your social media all day long.
If you realise on tumblr, I don’t come up with an original post every day and I tend to reblog my old post or queue others posts so don’t stress too much on coming up with a post. For instagram, you could try to take pictures all during the weekend, so you don’t have to stress taking them after school, etc. But it is important to always put studies first before your social media.
Consider switching off your phone or even deleting your social media apps or deactivating them during exams period if they are really getting in the way of your studies.
