Your family and friends

Your family and friends are the number one source of financial assistance that you can tap into, so don't be afraid to tap into them.

They are your number one source for such help for a number of reasons, one of these reasons being that they will categorically not want to see you suffer financial due to their emotional attachment to you, and therefore they will go that extra mile in wanting to help you. This extra mile will include them, more than likely, not asking for the money that they borrow you to be paid back within a strict deadline as well as not asking for interest repayments on top of the borrowed sum.

It can sound like a bit of a chore, but your resume should be adapted to fit every single different job that you’re applying for. No two of your resumes should be the same. You should analyse the wording of each job advert you like the look of and try to echo this within your resume. If the company you are looking to apply to seeks a candidate to ‘network across the business’, and you have written that you ‘liaise with stakeholders’ change the wording. Many companies use machine screening and will not pick up on the similarities between these two actions.
