Forbes released some great advice for the Class of 2018 that I’ve found to be true in my first real job at Knowledge Capital Group. The transition from college to ‘adulting’ can be a bumpy one—your schedule is no longer customizable, your achievements are expected rather than praised, and you must design your own development goals instead of relying on those defined for you. That being said, if you are strategic in your career approach this comes with some major benefits such as independence, personal and professional fulfillment, countless opportunities, and of course free coffee [and snacks]. What professional advice would you give to the Class of 2018?”
