Career Success Tips: Many young professionals make the mistake of treating their job like school, thinking that only hard work and using their technical skills will bring success. Do not do this, because things work differently at the workplace. You cannot succeed alone, but your progress also depends on the support of your manager, colleagues, and others. To succeed at the workplace, your real-life experiences, how you reflect on them, and what you learn from them, are useful. In such a situation, some things must be kept in mind to move forward in the career.

Support of others is also important.
When it comes to academic marks and progress in school, it is largely determined by you. Passing or failing a class or subject depends on how good marks you have scored. On the other hand, success at the workplace depends more on whether your ability to complete the work is appreciated by your boss and colleagues or not. So, you need to make sure you have people who can help you build informal and formal networks, and access to information, resources, and opportunities.

Work speaks for itself in the professional world.

Succeeding in a school exam or submitting a strong assignment is often enough to pass a class or move to the next level. It is the teacher's job to ask about your work and assess it, but in the professional world, your work is noticed only if it is productive and praised. So you need to be clear about who is helping you make career decisions.

Variety of answers

In school, teachers usually ask questions that have a single right answer, but at work, the right answer is often more subjective. When it comes to solving a problem or choosing a project, there are usually a variety of solutions or paths you can take.

Dependency of learning

As a professional, you can't rely on a textbook to learn. Instead, you learn most from your experiences at work, but what matters is what you learn from what you experience. So focus on learning better and look for opportunities to do so.
