Our career should be outcome of our priorities (meaningful life, growth, learning….), suited to opportunities and supported with allocation of our resources (energy, time, efforts....). priorities, opportunities and resources should be well aligned and we must walk the talk.

Relations

Intimate, loving and enduring relationships are worth fighting for. Go for deep friendships rather than shallow friendships with many. Invest in relations long before we need them. Don’t outsource parenting role. Equip children with the right experiences. This is the relationship strategy.

Personal strategy is one of living life of integrity and staying out of jail. Don’t go down the slope.

Demonstrate the soft skills in your resume
In addition to hard and soft skills, we must also exhibit self-management skills e.g. self-motivation, time management and stress management. Being open minded, flexible, adaptable, experimenting and learning from mistakes are the key differentiator for a person's success.
World Economic Forum lists out the top ten soft skills, which employers look for. These are · - Complex Problem Solving · - Critical Thinking · - Creativity · - People Management · - Coordinating with Others · - Emotional Intelligence · - Judgment and Decision Making · - Service Orientation · - Negotiation · - Cognitive Flexibility
As a prospective employee, it is our job to learn and enhance the soft skills continuously as well as demonstrate relevant skills in our resume and during the interview to increase our success rate in the interview process.
