What one piece of advice do you wish you had known at the start of your career?

Kathryn Bain

Reposted from IET Professional Development



I'm currently working on a blog around starting out in careers in engineering - it got me thinking about the lessons learned from others (perhaps because I spend a lot of my time working with our volunteer mentors).


What one piece of advice do you wish you had known at the start of your career that you know now?


Or, if you're starting out in your career right now, what is the one thing you want to learn more about (and hopefully have planned as part of your CPD)?


Please share your experiences or advice below:

    Thomas,


    ​An MBA is covering many areas like, leadership, management,economics,human resources etc. Courses that you covered in your PhD can be very well used for securing credits and possible exceptions on subjects that you covered already. Make sure that you keep records of what you covered already. You can also use those credits on your CPD requirement of minimum 30 hours every year.
