Whether it’s a performance review with the boss or a disagreement with a co-worker, maintain your cool when receiving criticism at work. Although it is often tough to hear, criticism can actually help you get ahead in the workplace.

Knowing where to start when writing a resume can be half the battle. You can decide to use a resume writing service, but these can be pricey, especially if you are starting out and money is tight. Using a free template can be a good option but make sure it covers the correct points to convey your personality and skills to their best advantage. Do a little research first and understand a little about the role. Read current job ads on Seek and make sure to match the language and tone of the ads as this can give a clue as to kind of information the employer or recruiter is after.
