How To Prepare For The Video Interview
Video interviews will soon be the new norm. Here’s why… Because we are living in unprecedented times.

There is panic buying in supermarkets, where rice, food, vegetables and even toilet paper are cleared off the shelves! There are a number of countries who are on lockdown mode.

How To Build Your Personal Branding In Singapore
Shakespeare once said: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet” I first read this hauntingly beautiful line in my literature class during my secondary school days and it has stuck in my head since then. But now I beg to differ. If a rose is not called a rose, it would have the same “market” value as it carries. It would also not be the symbol of love. Here’s a classic example I like to use. Tell me what you think of each of them. – – – – …
How To Prepare For Your Internship Search
Internship is all the rage. Why so? Being experiential in nature, students are able to apply their classroom knowledge in a professional setting. Very often, the real world out there is vastly different from what you have learnt from textbooks. Thus, there is an increasing trend for both universities and polytechnics to make internships a compulsory component of any course. The length of each internship may vary – some are as short as 6 weeks while others stretch to 6 months (or beyond should the student request to extend). Personally, I support internships as it’s part of career planning. Let’s …
Why Personal Branding Helps In Career Success
I used to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realise it’s a Shakespearean comedy. Hi, my name is Lionel Lim… …let me share a short story about myself… My father had passed away from cancer. I became head of the family unwillingly. All the bills, payments, expenses, expectations came to me. I fell into depression as I hated my life and could not cope with this new role which I did not ask for. Plus I hated my job… …and I was told during one of my annual health checkups by the doctor I had high blood …

“Lionel, what is the number 1 skill that has enabled you to make it?” I didn’t have to think long and hard. It’s personal branding.

But I am the one who is able to outclass, outshine and outlast all the others. The barriers to entry to become an entrepreneur are low.

Personal Grooming Workshop For Financial Advisors
Selling is a process that all of us engage in many times in our lives, yet we take it for granted. We do it on a daily basis – whether we are selling products, services, concepts or ourselves. The point I want to highlight is that anybody, whether in business or social life, can “sell” yourself far more successfully than you can ever imagine. It only involves the subtle manipulation of your dressing. There is no question about it – professionals spend more time on their dressing and put their outfits together more carefully than the amateurs. To the great …
The 3 Must-Know Social Media Etiquette Rules
How you behave on social media is just as important as how you behave as a person. Don’t forget your social media persona is an extension of your real persona.

There have been reports of flippant posting, incessant ranting and offensive use of language in recent years. And these guys have got themselves in hot soup.

Lionel Lim Celebrates 10 Years of Business Excellence
It’s often being said that most new businesses don’t make it past the first year. I was initially fearful as well when I started my entrepreneurship journey in 2009. But I told myself I only live once. And since this is my life, let me be in the driver’s seat. And in the blink of an eye, here I am a decade later. I recently passed my 10th year work anniversary…with no fanfare, no celebrations, no parties. Honestly, I can’t believe it’s been a decade since that decision I made back then to just do it. It’s been an exciting …
