If you're a graduate and you're about to start your career and your full time jobs, my advice to you would be number one, be curious. Nothing beats a curious mind and someone that is eager to learn, eager to understand that maybe the theory of what you have, put through this years in college might have a different flavor at work when you put it in practice. Stay curious. Stay open.
The second part, I think it's you can never start early enough to make the right connections Seeing who can help you, who actually has something that you need to be successful.
And the third I would say right from the get go ask your team members and colleagues and your team leader what will make you successful in this new role? What is the expectation of the role and the tasks you need? Because oftentimes there's a mismatch between what the person thinks is expected of the role and what the others expect. So you cannot ask that early enough. And it's a wonderful opportunity when you're just learning the dynamics. Just make sure that you understand what is expected so that you can address those expectations right from the start.
