Stay in college as long as possible!

However, I have to admit the title is a bit misleading. It is only from one experience (thus, one specific work environment).

And that what feels like annoyance or dislike from a boss or coworker is often not personal, but a function of communication style. So valuable!

I would agree with the other comments. Documenting your activities, whether daily or monthly, will help you keep track of them, give you a sense of accomplishment, and give you a point of reference if you decide to look for a promotion or switch jobs. I would add always keep learning – after hours, on your own- whether by reading industry/trade magazines / ezines, blogs etc. What you learn can be a point of discussion and keep you ahead.

Very useful tips to be followed. As a young professional I’m open to any advice and although I do have certain work experience I always find such posts valuable for my future career progress. There are indeed many resources who offer tips&tricks on career in general, but with what you’ve written and what I heard lately during the webinars organized by http://www.blog.ivyexec.com I’m sure I’ll be great on my future jobs. Thanks!

It’s really hard out there in this competitive world. You have to work hard and follow the tips.

I would also add finding a coach. My first year on my real world job worked out really well when I could go ask questions of someone who had been doing the job longer than me. Everything from where is Conference Room X – what do you think about this assignment? I have a post on this called “Two Allies to Have and One Enemy to Avoid at Work”

Nobody wins an award for doign it all himself and there is nothing inherently wrong with asking for help. It takes both courage and humility to ask for assistance or to say “I don’t have the resources I need”. At least if you ask for help and ultimately fail you can say you did everything you could, but if you don’t the failure is completely your fault and you have no one to blame.

Being young and having potential doesn’t mean a thing until you can show how you’re fulfilling that potential and delivering results that add to accomplishing team goals. Don’t be surprised if it takes a few years before you can successfuly ascend to a new level in your career.

As an HR Director I saw many graduates fail to follow this advice and damage their career prospects badly before they had really got started. One other I’d add is to make sure that if you are working as a part of a team you make an effort to recognize that people will be different to you – but it’s that which makes teams successful
