First jobs
Getting your career started may not be glamorous, but first jobs provide valuable ways to be introduced to a profession or field. First (or even second) jobs give you an opportunity to sample different roles, learn the culture of an organization, gain exposure across functions, gain experience doing many things you have never done before, earn trust, expand your contacts, start friendships, and consider what sort of people you want to work with, develop self-confidence and a more professional image--all of which lay the groundwork for future growth, promotion and clarifying career direction and goals. |
