“Financial Literacy for Fresh Graduate” by MAYBANK (1hr)
Building an investment portfolio is key to growing your wealth. Start by understanding that a portfolio spreads your money across different investments to reduce risk and increase returns. Set clear goals, plan your savings, and choose investments that match those goals. Avoid common mistakes like trying to time the market, chasing high returns without considering risks, or blindly following others. Instead, focus on consistent, informed decisions. Pay yourself first by saving before spending, avoid unnecessary debts, and regularly review your financial situation. These simple steps will help you build a strong foundation for your financial future.

Use a clear, professional photo of just yourself. Craft an attractive headline to catch recruiters’ attention and ensure you update your profile regularly with your industry and location to improve search visibility. Your profile summary should be concise and in the first person, incorporating industry keywords. Use bullet points for work experience, highlighting your contributions.

Mastery of these tools, like Trello for collaboration, is crucial for job security and network expansion. Passion for your field is essential; if it feels forced, it may be time to explore new opportunities.
