What do you know now that you wish you had known when you chose
your career/profession?
Viewers of The Career Exposure Network™ share their advice:
- Formal business acumen is important
- Have excellent financial management skills, as your backbone.
Critical thinking is essential. Also, get your MBA.
- Learn to lead, and observe and absorb the professional skill that
aren't taught in college.
- Develop a network of professionals in all fields. Recognize the
skills you have are transferable.
- Education is very important. Society seems to be very informal
these day and the anything goes attitude is pervasive in the college
culture, but strong business skills are a must for achieving future
success.
- Learn that you aren't selling out if you work hard and
act/dress/conduct yourself professionally.
- I was naive and thought that once I chose a career that was it.
My advice--be flexible, look out for opportunity, even change leading
to new work. Change is a constant in the workplace. You have to
constantly be broadening your horizons. If you want to succeed, you
have to look for opportunities; they won't just fall in you lap.
- Importance of Strong communication skills -- I know how to speak
with a purpose. I have learned the importance of formulating my
thoughts before letting them go, even in a hurried moment, I take the
time to think about my comments and what they could imply if spoken in
the wrong tone.
- Smaller office environments enable greater learning potential on
the job. You tend to do more than just your designated assignment,
which quickly builds you a diverse and strong skill set for future
endeavors.
