1.Appearances count
- Check out your CV and covering letter if you are constantly finding you are not getting interviews have a look at it and make changes.

- Does your LinkedIn profile have a picture, or can you add new skills recently learnt to it?
2.Upskilling

- Learn new skills e.g., software developers/IT Technologists using Coursera and Udacity to get micro credentials and certificates- use this for gaps that you may be lacking in.
- Digital marketing certificates /diplomas through the CIM, check out these courses.
- Nano degrees- to build up to a degree in bits and pieces.
