3 Things I Wish I Knew When I Started My Career🗣️
1. The “top” position isn’t the only definition of success.
Every industry has its traditional markers of success, but those may not align with your goals or passions. Take the time to explore different paths within your field and find the niche that brings you fulfillment.
How to Improve: Stay curious and open-minded about opportunities. Volunteer for diverse projects, attend industry events, and connect with professionals in different roles to expand your perspective.
2. You don’t have to stay where you’re undervalued.
No job is worth sacrificing your well-being or personal growth. If your workplace doesn’t support your development or respect your contributions, there are plenty of other opportunities out there—even the chance to work for yourself.
How to Improve: Regularly update your resume and professional network. Invest in developing skills that make you adaptable and valuable across multiple settings.
3. Your qualifications are tools, not boundaries.
Degrees, certifications, and training are stepping stones, not walls. They should enable you to build the career you want, not confine you to paths others expect you to follow.
How to Improve: Keep evaluating your career goals and exploring ways to grow. Seek mentors, take additional courses, or develop new skills that align with your evolving interests and values.
For those just starting out, take this as a perspective to consider. For those further along in their careers, what advice would you give someone new to your field?
