What Did You Learn from Your First Job

What Did You Learn from Your First JobWhat Did You Learn from Your First Job?What Did You Learn from Your First JobMany of us are inclined to remember a lot of firsts in life first kiss, first beer, first date, first car. And, of course, first job, especially the first job after graduating from college.In most cases, that first job will not make you rich in the wallet, but could make you richer in wisdom. Thats what happened to me I became better schooled about the ways of business, how to play office politics, and how to work nicely with others. In contrast, I had a crappy salary, little spending cash, and had to get my parents to cosign a loan for a new car.Those memories as painful as they remain came back when I read a post this week on the Career Rocketeer blog. The writer, Mario Schulzke, reinforced the point that learning is more important than earning at that first post-college job. His adviceLet the job help determine your future,Develop skills related to what youre passiona te about, and,Build professional relationships that can help you advance your career.
