Tips and Tricks Your highlight must be positive. Can initially be negative but tell me how you turned the situation into a positive. Talk about decisions you have taken. Often topics will be given to you but sometimes may be given an “open highlight”. In this case, write about what inspires you. Use pictures and links to a website if possible.
