Inspiring articles and resources for students who are entering the job market

Photo by Марьян Блан | @marjanblan on Unsplash

In this post, I want to share with you a message I have recently written to my previous students.

I will not edit the email message and leave it as intact, so that you can see it as intended. It is basically a compilation of the articles I have written for my students this summer (Summer 2020).

I am hoping that this post will be a useful resource for a broader audience — all young individuals who are interested in improving their creativity and employability as they enter the job market.

Enjoy.

The Message:

Inspiring articles and resources for your career and future

Dear students;

I hope you are fine and everything is going well in your lives.

I have missed you and I thought I should write to you to provide you some guides and resources I prepared for you.

I am hoping that these resources will inspire, guide, and help you in your future careers.

RESOURCES ON JOB APPLICATION

First, I have written some guides on preparing your job application. Please find these four articles below:

  1. How to make your CV outstanding: Pay attention to these fundamentals to be invited for an interview.

2. How to write an effective cover letter: How to show evidence of fit between job requirements and your skills, experiences, and knowledge.

3. A complete guide to creating a creative CV: Have fun, showcase your design skills, and differentiate yourself in the job market.

4. Create your own vision board: A great way to unleash your creativity and visualize your ideal life and career.

RESOURCES ON ASSET CREATION

Second, I have written some inspirational guides and articles for you to help you advance your goals of asset creation.

Since we are going through global economic recession, one of the best things you can do for the longer term is to think about how you will create your own creative assets.

You do have a lot to offer to the world in terms of fresh talent, ideas, skills, enthusiasm, and creativity. Have a really long-term perspective. Build a system of creativity and productivity for yourself.

Allocate time every day in your calendar for investing in yourself and creating your own creative assets.

Allow yourself opportunities for imagination, entrepreneurship, creativity, surprise, and adventure.

You can use the following guides and articles I have recently written for you. They will help you get started and inspired for your asset creation projects:

  1. Why you need inspirational capital to enrich your life: Richness in tomorrow’s world is measured by imagination, curiosity, and enchantment.

2. Imagine that you can change the lives of 1000 people: How can you create breakthrough value for them? — A short exercise on creating positive change for your 1000 true fans

3. The world needs your creativity, imagination, and contribution: A reflective exercise bridging your heart’s desires and your mind’s adventures.

4. How can you make imagination a key feature of your life each day?: A masterclass of daily creative exercises and experiments.

5. The secret to a fulfilling life: Entertain your brain every day: Four exercises to discover novelty, surprise, and adventure in your life.

6. Your life journey is not about finding yourself — it is about creating yourself: You are living in an age of creative renaissance and you need to crush it.

7. How can you develop a fearless approach to life? We should all aspire to navigate a hero’s journey.

OTHER RESOURCES ON CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION

I also want to share some recent articles I have written with you. Please find them below:

1. FAATMAN dominates every landscape in our lives — not just technology. You have guessed it right: Facebook, Alphabet, Amazon, Tesla, Microsoft, Apple, and Netflix.

2. Three Remarkable Lessons from the World’s Most Successful Band: Why BTS is awesome and why I use BTS to teach secrets of creativity.

3. Here are 8 short and sweet exercises you can finish in 64 minutes: Reflect, create, and enjoy.

4. Unlocking the secrets of the Digital Wonderland will open new portals for you.

5. Understanding doors might open new doors in your life: This article is all about doors — do not read if you are not interested in doors:)

6. YouTube’s virtual commencement ceremony provides a bit of support and comfort to our graduates during these hard times.

Please do not lose your morale and hang in there despite challenges. Yes, we are going through challenging times. However, we will emerge stronger from this period if we work hard, not lose our hope, build a system of creativity & productivity, invest in ourselves, keep learning & experimenting, use our imagination to create assets, develop grit& resilience, and support each other.

Remember to allocate time every day in your calendar for learning, reading, investing in yourself, and creating your own assets.

If you want to continue your journey of learning (and build on what we have covered in this module), you can find my regular updates and articles here on Medium:

I wish you good luck in your lives and careers.

Let us keep in touch.

Sincere Regards;

Fahri

I have written another new article for my students and young individuals who are applying for jobs in the middle of economic depression. It took me more than 10 hours to write this article, but I think it is worth it. It is an inspiring guide on managing yourself, and establishing a system of productivity, creativity, and employability in the midst of a global crisis. Before I finish this post, I want to share this article.
