Simple career growth tips and tricks. Would you agree with all of them though 😀😀 # careergrowth # careers #organizationladder

This is the exact advice I give to my coaching clients! Take care of YOU first and all else will fall into place.

HR Professionals and Senior Leaders…Are these hard truths or strategies employees are already leveraging? Although I am not a fan of point #3, I do understand the strategy behind it. In my executive coaching experience, I’ve observed that companies often make this desirable because they would rather hire a new employee at a significantly higher salary than raise the existing salary by the same amount. However, loyalty needs to be a two-way street. While employees are often expected to be loyal, companies must also demonstrate loyalty to their employees by recognizing and rewarding their dedication. This mutual loyalty can build a more resilient and committed team, fostering a thriving work culture and retaining top talent in the long run.

3 and 5 in this list are potentially great ways to set your career back. I can see that they are superficially appealing but not very good advice in reality.

Some really good points in this slideshow

Great poss with pristine principles is absolutely most important for any rooky.

I love this truth. In #publicrelations, it's often the goal of entry-level and mid-level folks to work for multinationals that are well-known in the industry and deemed to hold prestige. The perception is that these companies have amazing clients with massive budgets, and do award-winning work for high salaries and lots of perks. The truth is that at an "average company," someone with ambitious career goals will more easily get the opportunity to punch above their weight. They are likely to get noticed and have a "speaking part" with faster exposure to direct client contact. They never have to resort to getting ahead by stepping on the backs of others. The atmosphere is more relaxed but the demands are equally challenging. I am proud of the many "stars" that passed through energi PR Inc. over our nearly 35 years (you know who you are), and our team today. Many EPR alumnus went on to successful careers including establishing consultancies of their own, leading multinational agencies or heading global communications departments on the client side. When they first came to energi some balked at working on healthcare accounts but did a 360 as the purposeful work grew on them. They seized the opportunity to learn from the best practitioners, work on memorable as well as less than exciting projects and be exposed to all kinds of clients. They learned the psychology of client service. The feedback we received from former employees was that it wasn't always easy, but they were grateful for having been well-prepared for their next challenge. Ben Meer's first harsh truth reminds me of the oft-used saying you can't always tell a book by its cover. #Inspiration, #experience, #opportunity and #learning can come from the most unexpected places. My advice - bigger and fancier isn't always better when it comes to accelerating your career. Nor is the grass greener. #pragency #prcareer #smallbutmighty #dreamcompany

No. 1 is gold

Some good stuff here. I used to disagree with hopping and used to think that loyalty to a company was reciprocated until I was shown in a powerful and painful manner that isn’t the case. That’s not to say there aren’t some companies out there that’re different but I haven’t seen it yet. Regarding company vs manager, I’ve seen a great study with a bottom line showing that people don’t leave bad companies, they leave bad bosses. Employment should be mutually beneficial, an employee shouldn’t complain about pay and do nothing else, either look and see if it’s as bad as it looks/feels or get other skills to make changes at the current or a different employer.
