That's a toughie, but if I had to give only three it would be:

Practise talking about your experience (practise makes, nearly, perfect)
Always be open to hearing about the opportunities that are out there in the market

Frequent and transparent communication is a must. And delivering on expectations set keeps everyone happy.

Outside of work hours you'll be able to find me sitting in the garden and listening to the birds. Alternatively, you can also catch me jumping on my skateboard to feel the wind (in what's left of my hair!).

You can always reach me at [email protected] or on LinkedIn.
