Starting out on your career can seem like one of the most daunting tasks you\u2019ll ever undertake in your 20s and beyond. As with every momentous task or adventure, there are always plenty of questions bouncing off the insides of your head. That aside, there are also times early on in your career when you begin to second guess yourself, and in the blink of an eye, your confidence is all but zapped and you\u2019ve turned into a toddler in a strip joint. To top it all off, there are seemingly a million talking heads only too eager to pass on advice. Heck, but who do you listen to? Indeed, who? Thankfully, however, we\u2019re here to help, for we\u2019ve dispensed with the smoke and mirrors, and made plain the seven habits you should master in your 20s for a great career.<\/p>\n

Building a successful career based on these habits will ensure your long-term success as well. Here we go! Let’s get this show on the road!<\/p>\n

Jump in with both feet<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

your twenties, you have the most freedom to experiment and fail. Sure, they may not always work out, but you\u2019ll learn plenty, can bounce back from them relatively easily and there\u2019s less at stake \u2013 all this is crucial. Besides, it will teach you to spot a worthy risk and opportunity for later on in your career.<\/p>\n

Stash it away<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Financial hygiene is an important habit to inculcate early on. Try to stash away about 15-20% of your paycheck for a rainy day, and don\u2019t dip into it unless you\u2019re in dire straits. Now, you are prepared to take any financial pitfalls in your stride.<\/p>\n

Far and wide<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Networking is a crucial aspect of the professional world we live in, and something you should take to early on, soon enough, it will become second nature. This habit will help you get to know other roles, types of jobs and so forth. Significantly also, it will open your world to new experiences and possibilities and can help provide direction, as regards what you want to do career-wise.<\/p>\n

Cement relationships<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s impossible to know which people will have the greatest impact on your future success. That said, maintaining and strengthening relationships from previous roles, teams, or firms makes perfect sense. You can open up a wide range of possibilities if you keep in touch with your friends and family on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

The social media thing<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Always future proof your social media. For instance, is that post going to reflect who you\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0are in five years time? Things on the internet stay there forever, and recruiters are always looking up candidates online, so maintain a sanitised front, and lock down those privacy settings. Also, make sure you have a regularly updated LinkedIn account.<\/p>\n

The feedback factor<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ever take negative feedback personally, and always take the time and effort and get to the heart of the matter. Next, work on improving what was highlighted in the feedback. Your bosses will notice this and earmark you for bigger and better tasks and projects. Also, don\u2019t hold back on passing on positive feedback \u2013 if someone\u2019s done a good job, big \u2018em up for it.<\/p>\n

The best version of yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n

Always try to get better at what you do. This may involve putting on a pair of imaginary blinkers to block out what the others are up to, as it may not align with your own goals. This way, you have a fixed vision and purpose to work towards, and can drive on with determination and vigour.<\/p>\n
