What is one job hunt mistake, and how can someone avoid it?
"The biggest mistake is fear. If you know what you want, go for it. Don't hesitate. Sometimes we create hurdles ourselves by not going for what we truly want. Fear was a huge hurdle to overcome myself with my job, but I'm glad everyday that I went for it."
What are some fashion musts when going on an interview?
"I often see people wearing suiting that is too big for them and it tends to look sloppy. A well tailored/fitting ensemble can go a long way. It shows you care about your appearance and the job you're aiming to get."
What interview question should all interviewees be prepared to answer?
"'Why should we hire you?' Practice answering this!"
