Here are 5 uncommon things I did to win International Opportunities very early in life:
1. I joined global communities like Enactus, World Economic Forum Global Shapers, Ashoka, Global Changemakers where I volunteered my time to make a positive impact in my community.

2. I was honest with myself about which opportunities were suited for me and which ones were not.
3. I was never in a rush to apply to anything. I always took my time to read the requirements and fill out the applications correctly.

4. I stepped out of my comfort zone most times to do the work I needed to do. The rewards of doing that became my motivation to never get lazy.

I started out my career as a full time volunteer. Worked 2 years for one of my mentors without pay. Today, I run a successful social enterprise and one of the largest online global platforms.

Let’s talk about practical ways to use volunteering to jumpstart your career.

#thread
1. Look for volunteer opportunities that align with your career goals.

For e.g., if you want to work in marketing, look for non-profits that need help with branding, social media and event planning.

By doing so, you‘ll:
- develop skills specific to your field of interest.
- learn about the industry and stay current with the latest trends.
- get a sense of the day-to-day work and responsibilities of a particular job or field.
- build professional connections within the industry.
- be able to showcase your skills, & stand out.

Let’s dive in a little more.

Here are 4 practical ways to build strong connections with people and be the person people are more than happy to help, any day and any time.

#thread #networking
1. Be genuine:
People can usually tell when you're being insincere, so it's important to be authentic in your interactions with others. Show a genuine interest in learning about them, their interests, and their careers.
2. Look for ways to add value:
Find ways to help the people you meet, even if it's just offering a small piece of advice or introducing them to someone in your network.

I served on a committee for Master's program admissions and found many qualified applicants failed to effectively demonstrate their strengths.

Here are a few tips to help you effectively demonstrate your strengths and abilities in your graduate school application:

#thread
1. Tailor your application to the specific program:

Make sure to research the program and tailor your application to highlight how your experiences and goals align with the program's mission and objectives. Include specific examples to demonstrate your fit for the program.
2. Use specific examples:

Rather than just listing your experiences, use specific examples to illustrate your skills & accomplishments. For instance, if you were a teaching assistant, describe a lesson/activity that you planned & led that demonstrates your teaching abilities.
