Career Advice for Millennials: 7 Actionable Tips to Achieve Success

Career Advice for Millennials: 7 Actionable Tips to Achieve Success

Being an older millennial myself, I have seen the workplace change over the years. I’ve made my fair share of mistakes, but also had quite a bit of success.

Here are the 7 pieces of career advice I would give to all millennials who want to increase their job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, and income in their careers:

Do What You Like (Not What You Love)

While I would never advocate taking a job you hate, staking your career on passion can be a dangerous thing.

Always Be Learning

If you want to get ahead, you need to be adaptable. Take on new responsibilities or a different role entirely every few years.

If I was just busy doing my assigned tasks, I would be doing what was expected of me and no more. Go above and beyond. Just doing your job doesn’t get noticed.

Focus on Results, Not Just Task

Network, Network, Network

Networking also opens you up to new opportunities you may not have even considered before.

Don’t Be Afraid to Take Risk

Sometimes the best way to learn is to take on risks, and the entrepreneurial spirit is celebrated even (surprisingly) in large companies.
