\u201cNow that it\u2019s over, what are your plans?\u201d Every 2016 grad has been hearing some variation of this question for the past two months. Recent grads entering the workforce all have similar fears of becoming successful and standing out to their seniors. Here is a guide of steps to continuing down a path for success:<\/p>\n
Networking is not only important in finding<\/em> a career, its vital in your overall career success. If there is one thing I have learned in my 17 years of schooling, and so far in my working experience, it is that building and<\/em> maintaining healthy relationships can not only go long way, it can either make OR break you. That being said, remember everyone\u2019s name, keep strong eye contact, always be polite, and most importantly: be genuine.<\/p>\n Despite feeling like a freshman all over again, keep your confidence. Prove yourself but avoid arrogance. Set goals. Let everyone understand why you were hired.<\/p>\n Now is the time to expand your knowledge and utilize your experiences. Volunteering and getting yourself involved will not only benefit the community, it will give you a more well-rounded perspective, which could potentially open up even more doors. If you do the things you love, and give yourself time, while also balancing out work and stress, you will be happier, healthier and more efficient.<\/p>\n I have always been told that making routines and following them helps substantially with focus and clarity. In contrast to this very valuable and insightful information, I have always been what they call a \u201cfree spirit\u201d and I avoid daily regimen like the plague. Since I started my post grad career, I have learned that being proactive is imperative. Small things like: Picking out your outfits for the week on Sundays, preparing lunches before work each day\/night, checking your email right when you get into the office, and keeping yourself organized with a calendar are good habits to have.<\/p>\n No one likes to save their money, but why are you working if you are spending all of your money in the Financial District on after work cocktails \u201cwaiting for the traffic to be over?\u201d This is not college anymore! You have loans (dreading that day more than Bob Marley\u2019s hair dresser), rent to pay, a car to pay off, and hopefully, a 401K<\/strong><\/a> or another work-based savings plan you should be contributing to each pay period.<\/p>\n This may seems obvious, but it definitely flies under the radar. Go invest in your clients. A big part of business is believing in the product or company that you represent. It will help you become passionate about your accounts and clients and develop relationships with their businesses. The more interconnected we are with the people we represent, the better communication, the better overall results.\u00a0Don\u2019t stress too much! Work hard! Be passionate!<\/p>\n Recent grads entering the workforce, you have made it this far.
