How to build a career?

While we get secondary and higher education, the question of career does not arise.

No, we, of course, dream of presenting ourselves as the owner of a luxurious director's office, hurrying to important business meetings and giving directions, but these are only dreams.

And now with a diploma in our hands, getting settled on our first job, we begin to worry, how to build a career , because I do not want to mow until my retirement in some shallow position.

And it is still complicated by the fact that you, such ambitious graduates are many and the struggle for a place under the sun is serious.

So what should I do?

I'll teach you now.

What do you need to build a career?


Natural, in order to get something, you need to have something.

One desire "I want to build a career" is not enough to sit in the chair of the CEO.

Although, of course, the desire to climb the career ladder and evolve is very important.

And you will need:

  1. Work.

    Yesterday's graduate is not easy to find a job.

    You do not want to work for pennies and for positions that are only remotely related to your specialization, and no company wants to pay big money to a newcomer in the labor market and entrust important tasks to him.

    It's important for you to understand that the first job is just a launch pad and you need to look for a not high-paying position, but a promising one.

    The company where you are going to build a career, should give you this opportunity: to be large, reliable, motivating its employees.

  2. Personal and professional qualities.

    You must perform your duties impeccably, be enterprising, intelligent, easy to learn, responsible, punctual, ready for innovation, mentally stable, have leadership qualities, but at the same time remain a good team player.

    In short, to build a career, you need to be such a universal soldier, the best of the best in his office.

  3. Appearance and charisma.

    Perhaps this is not the main thing in building a career, but I honestly did not meet among the leaders who climbed the career ladder from the first stage, ugly, neuhozhenenkih, gray, unnoticeable zamorysh.

    Bright appearance, well-groomed appearance, the ability to please and remember people, will be a good help for building a career.

How to build a career for beginners in the labor market?


Having work experience, it's much easier to assimilate in a new place, especially if your duties in a new company are not too different from what you did in the old company.

You already have certain skills and abilities, do not ask stupid questions, know how to work in a team and are ready for possible difficulties.

It's quite another matter - yesterday's graduates who got a job in their first job.

    It is better to perform one task well than 10 - as horrible.

You can.

I know dozens of such examples, when a person, starting with an insignificant position in the company, grew to a leading post within 5-10 years.

You can build a career even faster if you show yourselves in the best possible way.
