Starting a career is an exciting milestone, but it can also be daunting. The fear of settling for a job that doesn't meet our expectations can be painful. A recent experience with my students highlights this point. One of them rejected a job offer because of less CTC, while another chose a job with a lower salary but found the job role to be attractive with promising future career benefits. We all have our unique perspectives and requirements when it comes to selecting a job. It's not our place to tell someone that they deserve better or that they should wait for a better salary package. Ultimately, it's their choice and their path to follow. Remember, the key to happiness in your career is finding a job that aligns with your interests and goals. Don't let the lure of a higher salary cloud your judgement. Choose wisely and pave your own path to success. #carrier #success

These 'tips' can seriously harm your career. Here’s what to do instead. ❌ Job Hopping Will Kill Your Career ↳ Strategic job hopping can accelerate your career. If a job no longer serves you, move on. And increase your salary when you do. ❌ Work Hard & Promotions Will Come ↳ You need to shout about your achievements and advocate for yourself. ❌ You Need A 5 Year Career Plan ↳ Having a strict plan is almost impossible - be adaptable and focus on skill-stacking. ❌ Negotiating Salary Will Lose You The Offer ↳ By not negotiating you're leaving money on the table. Research the salary and make the ask when you get the offer. ❌ Only Apply To Jobs You're 100% Qualified For ↳ Apply when you hit 60% - 80% of the job description. You’ll have room for growth. ❌ Fake It Till You Make It ↳ Don't pretend to know stuff - adopt a beginner mentality and plug your skills gaps. ❌ Climb The Corporate Ladder ↳ Side-ways moves or becoming an expert can be just as rewarding as climbing to the top. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Follow Sanya Malik for more such insights ❤️ #CareerTips #JobSearch #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerDevelopment #SalaryNegotiation #JobHopping #SkillStacking #CareerAdvice #PersonalBranding #CorporateClimb #CareerStrategy #SolutionValley

Career growth is a conscious choice. It doesn't take fruition unless you pursue it strategically. My clients emerged with flying colours from rosy job offers, salary increments, promotions, recognition etc all because they invested in themselves. If they could do it so can you.

👣 One step at a time 👣 Starting your career can feel overwhelming, but remember, every journey begins with a single step. It may take time, but with dedication and perseverance, you'll inch closer to your dream job or position. 💼 Don't let comparison steal your joy 💼 It's easy to get discouraged when hearing about others' salary packages, but remember, everyone's path is unique.

Happy Monday, my friend! One of the most common fears that I encounter working with career transitioners is the money fear. Fear of having to take an entry level salary again. My friend, please remember that you are bringing so much with you. You are not an inexperienced kid. You have skills, experiences, and can provide a ton of value no matter what you do. Hold on to that and use it to get the offer you deserve. #careercoach #jobsearch #mondaymindset

🌱 "All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work." – Calvin Coolidge I've had conversations with folks who might not be actively job hunting but are open to the right opportunity that aligns with their career goals. Here's what I'm here to assist with: 🔍 Helping you figure out what your next role should look like. 🚀 Presenting roles that offer career development, support, and a positive work environment. 💬 Providing total transparency about opportunities – I'll give you the good, the bad, and the ugly. No sugar-coating because every role comes with its challenges, whether it's processes, products, or people. Here's what I can't help with: 💰 Securing a salary increase if you're already at market rates and haven't furthered your skills. 💸 Advising individuals on high salaries who aren't market-worthy and aren't willing to take a pay cut to advance. Think about what matters most to you and what steps you need to take. If you're unsure, feel free to reach out. #Growth #Careers

Your first month in a new role is going to set a precedent with your employer, so it’s so important to get it right I’ve heard stories of people turning up late in their first week, dressing scruffy, not making any effort with their colleagues, and simply doing the bare minimum to get by Different industries will require different motivations, but in recruitment, employers are looking for people who will go the extra mile and are genuinely motivated to build a strong career for themselves You earn what you put into the role, and people in the industry want to earn more than their base salary, so this often comes with putting in more work, and going out of your way to learn from those around you The more your employers can see that you are trying, the more support and guidance they are going to give you, so you can succeed in reaching your goals To anyone starting a new role, my best advice is to give 110% - your first year of any job is going to be the hardest, so commit fully and you’ll see the reward come through!
