~ Career Confessions, Day 49 ~

What I wished someone told me at 21.

Hey Mei! 

 

Today I'm giving you the cheat sheet I wished I had at 21. 

 

I shared this online recently and my community loved it!

So, save this and it will save you from a lot of career pains in the future :) 

 

1: 99.9% of work problems are caused by people.

 

2: Set your boundaries or get pushed around.

 

3: Be friendly, but not best friends at the workplace.

 

4: Paper qualification does not equal common sense.

 

5: Chasing passion without having any skills will crash and burn.

 

6: People choose bad jobs because they lack self-awareness.

 

7: Job search is only the 5%, the 95% are learning how to survive in the corporate world.

 

8: If you don’t ask, you don’t get.

 

9: Salary has a multiplier effect. Don’t shortchange yourself.

 

10: Growth is not sexy but the rewards are worth it.

 

11: Career shortcut is like building a house of cards that can come tumbling down.

 

12: Your boss is not your mentor, but your supervisor.

 

13: Quality work beats sexy ideas any time.

 

14: Productivity without clarity is like driving fast in the wrong direction.

 

15: Effectiveness > Efficiency

 

16: Career change can happen at any age if you have value to offer.

 

17: The corporate world is like a jigsaw puzzle. Find out where you fit.

 

18: Work hard first, then learn how to work smart.

 

19: Confidence comes from competence.

 

20: The corporate world is like a chessboard. Learn to play the game.

 

21: Don’t envy successful people. Learn their secrets and do it better.

 

Knowledge is power, so... 

Make sure you save this list and come back to this soon!

 

So Mei, which quote is your favourite? :)

 

With love,

Mei Phing xx
