Dear Agung,
I live in a college town, and besides busier restaurants and more traffic, this time of year is chock-full of college graduations, commencement speeches, and lessons for young professionals just embarking on their careers. So it made me think about what career lessons have I learned that I really hold as true, and which ones I'd share with someone considering a new, better, or just different job.
Here are 5 of them, and hopefully they can help save someone a few stress-related headaches and moments of self-doubt!
  1. Common sense is more important than an MBA.
  2. Each and every job will teach you something about what want to do (or not do).
  3. Your career path is more likely to be a meandering river than a straight path, and that's okay.
  4. Networking just to network can be more distracting than helpful.
  5. Place high value on a company's culture.
To read more explanation about any of these (they're too long to include in a newsletter!), please check out my post on LinkedIn, 5 Career Lessons I Wish I'd Had When I Was 22. And if you have any favorite tidbits of advice that you've been given over the years, please add them in the comments section of the post. I'd love to hear them!
