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:

    I enjoyed all my working career. I wish I had been told from the beginning that other than the technical skills that I gained there is still the possibility of starting my own business.


    I need to learn business skills.


    The business opportunities are there but you need to know more about marketing in delivering your products or services.
