Student life has ended and now we're about to enter a new world which is called "Career". In every ending comes a new beginning. What should we think of when it comes to landing our first job? There will be a lot of things that's gonna go through your mind once we step into the real world and it can be really terrifying once we see what it's like out there, but that doesn't mean we should stop trying to reach our goal! Here are several things that you should remember.
- It's okay to make mistakes.
– Mistakes are proof that you're trying. Nobody is perfect and we become wiser once we learn our lesson from it. It's about how you correct the mistakes that you've done and not by how we made them.
- Learn how to work professionally with people you hate.
– That kid that called you fat could be right in front of you, serving you food and calling you ma'am/sir. What comes around goes around, so be nice to everyone. And you'll meet a lot of people with different attitude and it's your job to stay cool with it. Be professional.
- Realize saying "NO" is okay.
– If you don't want to do something that doesn't really inspire or support you, then it's okay to say no to these offers or requests. What matters is that what you're doing is something that you really like/love.
- Make peace with math.
– I know it's hard, but it's a must! We're gonna be surrounded with numbers our entire life! (Ahem, salary is a good example of number *winks*)
- Career is not just about money.
– Learning your soon-to-be discovered strengths and weaknesses that will only make you grow as an individual. It's also about loving what you're doing and not just by all the digits that you're getting.
