Ten things I wish I knew when I started working

Posted on 07/02/202307/02/2023 By Reedz

  1. Establish clear goals: Identify what you want to achieve both in the short- and long-term, and create a plan to reach those goals.
  2. Network and build relationships: Make connections with colleagues, industry professionals, and mentors who can help you advance in your career.
  3. Take initiative and be proactive: Look for opportunities to learn, grow, and make an impact in your work, rather than waiting for someone to assign tasks to you.
  4. Manage your time effectively: Prioritize your tasks and responsibilities, and avoid procrastination and distractions.
  5. Be open to feedback and willing to learn: Seek constructive criticism from your supervisor, peers, and customers, and use it to improve your skills and performance.
  6. Don’t ignore company policies and procedures: Familiarize yourself with the rules and expectations of your workplace and make sure to follow them.
  7. Don’t neglect your professional development: Avoid becoming complacent in your role and continuously seek out opportunities to learn and improve.
  8. Don’t engage in office politics: Stay focused on your work and avoid getting involved in gossip, negativity, and power struggles.
  9. Don’t undervalue your worth: Don’t be afraid to negotiate a fair salary and benefits package and seek compensation that reflects your skills and experience.
  10. Don’t burn bridges: Maintain a positive attitude, even during difficult or stressful times, and treat everyone in the workplace with respect and professionalism.
