Today I have got one of the best career lessons of my life. This will certainly influence that way I think about my future goals and hence the career decision that follows.
This new "Job life" has presented a completely different picture than what I have imagined during my college days. Nevertheless, I look forward to take it on because I don't have much choice in this regard. I have some suggestions which could make this life a little better.
1. Write to 100
Prepare a spreadsheet consisting names of 100 people and divide these into 4 groups based on the following segmentation:
A) First 30:-
These are the people in your life who can drop all their work and come to rescue you immediately.
B) Next 30:-
These are the people who will respond to your call and will come to help you.
C) Next 30:-
These people will give their advise, support/comment on your thinking and ideas.
D) Remaining ones:-
These are your well wishers, after all you need some positive waves to be able to lead a happy life.
-- These 100 people are the people that take your career to heights. Always keep relationship with them. Help them to get back the same.
2. Find MENTOR
Find yourself a mentor. They can do something that you can't. A mentor will be willing to spend time with you to understand your issues. We generally filter out things that we are not aware of and there is no way for us to see those things. Mentors are the people who help you to see them.
- Open up with him/her
- Tell completely stupid things/different things
- Career breakthrough happen through them only - Go Find Them!
- If anyone is going to teach me - Say to you - I am open - Be grateful
3. Create Reputation
- Be good, do good
- Work on your strengths, never ever loose them
- Make your personal brand
Career is non-linear, you cannot predict what comes ahead. So, believe in present. After all, good things happen when something different happens
