In finding the right path of education, one has to put in a lot of research and efforts. What is the need? Why is it important to invest a lot of time and research and find the right career path? There are a number of mistakes that you do in choosing the right career. We have explained them below so that you do not repeat it.
Do not live the dream of your parents:
Every parent will want the best for their child. They may want you to choose a particular course. It is not necessary that it will work best just because it did for your parents. There is a lot of change in the economy. It must be your personal choice to choose the right career.
Your first job:
The first day of campus placement is certainly a great deal for every student. While these companies recruiting students will work for a few of your friends, it does not necessarily mean that it will work the best for you too. It is not just about the role offered, but the firm’s culture that matters too. It should cater to your personal values.
Job of the best title:
Not every student is matured enough to dream for the right job position he deserves to be in. They dream of becoming the vice president of firms right after they started their work. Companies are nowadays moving towards more flatter structures
Choosing a job that has the best title:
The younger we are, the more lured we are by big titles, students want to be vice presidents as soon as they start working. Most organizations are however moving to flatter structures, where a manager would have more than 15 years of experience and one would not expect to make a vice president before 20 years. On the other, even if you do get the title of a vice president, you will probably still be doing entry level work that is suitable for your experience levels.
Choosing a job based on compensation:
This one is probably the toughest pitfall to avoid. The key is to remember that if the role that you are choosing, does not interest you, or does not play to your strengths, you will likely not do well in it. That will lead to getting branded as a non-performer, very early in your career. That is not a tag that you want or one that you can get out of, very easily. You may also find yourself bound by golden handcuffs, where your high salary does not permit you to take another lower paying job, even though you may realize that the lower paying job is better for you.
