And 5 more career hacks

Can't stop, won't stop

  • No free work: Probably isn’t a hack, but important anyway. If you’re a college student, this one’s for you. Don’t do it. You should be paid for your work.

  • Ask questions: Newsflash: Even the executives don’t have all the answers. I’d argue you’re doing more people in that room a favor than otherwise, by asking questions. It’s likely they have the same questions.

  • Delete the skills section: Instead, incorporate it into the Experience section of your resume.

  • Choose a manager: Not just the job.

  • Be bold: Go for positions you may not check every box for. You’re capable of more!
