>> So to begin with I would recommend, obviously you need to be really good at what you do.
So your course skill set.
For example, if I was a software engineer by profession,
you need to be really good at that, right?
So that's a given thing.
So I really encourage any student that, whichever profession that you choose,
you need to have a deeper level of understanding about the profession, and you should be --
you should keep learning new things about the profession
so that you can differentiate yourself with so many others like you that are in the workforce.
Right? So that's the given thing.
The next thing that I would recommend is be hungry.
In terms of not just, you know, hungry for money that, you know, I want to make a lot of money,
but hungry that you are learning new things every day on your job.
And if you are not learning, and you are not happy with it, just switch.
Right? Switch to a place, to a position
where you really start -- again, you are -- you're happy.
You're content.
And you are learning a lot, right?
In addition to learning on job, what I've been doing is also spend a lot
of time improving yourself.
Self improvement is the key.
You need to be able to understand what is in the marketplace.
What are the new trends, whether -- if you are in business, what are the new business trends?
What is happening in ecommerce?
For example in my case, you know, what are the different --
what are the technology trends in this industry
that I'm interested in, or I'm trying to explore?
And keep on top of that.
You know, keep on learning.
Improve your skill set on an ongoing basis.
If there are certifications that you can do, do certifications.
If you can do an MBA or a Master's Degree, go ahead and do that.
But bottom line is that you need to plan your future in a sense
that you set your goals and then give your 100%.
Make sure that you're tracking the goals, whether you're meeting them or not.
And if you're not meeting them or you're not happy
with your current situation, then think about alternatives.
But keep on improving.
Keep on moving in the right direction.
