Ivanka Trump Success Tips in People Magazine

According to an article in People November 2012, Ivanka Trump has career tips! "The fashion designer and business woman" has shared her advice "for getting ahead at work" (People, 2012). 

Below is word for word the article on all of Ivanka's career advice, enjoy!

- Keep hair and make up simple

"I never want my appearance to distract from my work" 

I love natural make up with a blow out, a low chignon or slick ponytail. These styles give you the freedom to experience with your outfit but still look put-together. 

- Develop a relationship with a mentor

"Don't be afraid to seek advice"

Some of the most accomplished people I know are very accessible. Just make sure your approach is tactful and your questions are smart - not anything that could be answered with a google search. 

- Set goals

"Think about things you want to achieve in both the short- and long- term"

Without the former you can't get to the latter. I like making a list of things I want to accomplish in the coming six months and reflect upon that list regularly. Then I assess my next steps. 

- Think overdressed, not underdressed 

"If you're unsure of what to wear go more formal" 

A pencil skirt, medium-high heels and a tweedy jacket are classic t

standbys. you have to take yourself seriously and dress for the role you want. 

- Experiment with trends in smaller ways

"Mix in bold colors and details like burgundy, leather, and baroque embellishments on bags, shoes, collars and more. They can all be work appropriate if you integrate them sparingly"

- Use social Media wisely

"Never post anything you wouldn't want your boss to see"

My HR department always goes on Facebook and Twitter to find out what prospective employees are doing. On the flip side, when you're interviewing you can use these sites to learn a little bit about your employer and spark conversation 

- Get regular feed back 

"ask your superiors how they thin you're doing"

Especially if you don't have scheduled reviews. Even though criticisms might be hard to hear, it's important to challenge yourself like this. In the end, the information you get will only help you improve.
