Three Career Tips You Shouldn't Take from Your Parents
Tempe, AZ - February 09, 2023
When it comes to career advice, your parents may have the
best intentions. But, let’s be honest, the job market looks a little different
than it did when they were first starting. As such, there are some pieces of
advice they may not have updated since the 70s! Here is a list of three
outdated career tips compiled by a leading staffing
firm that you should ignore from your parents.
Stay in a
Job You Hate if it's Safe
Your parents may have told you to stay in a safe job that
pays well and offers benefits, regardless of how much you hate it. But times
are changing. If a job doesn’t bring meaning or joy into your life, then it
might be time to consider looking for something else that aligns with your
values and goals. It can take hard work and dedication but ultimately it will
be worth it as you find yourself doing something that you love and enjoy doing
each day.
Immediately
Accept a Job Offer
It can be tempting to accept the first job offer that comes
along after weeks or months of applying for positions - especially if money is
tight! However, don’t feel like you must accept any offer right away without
exploring other options. Negotiate salary and benefits, if possible, research
more about the company culture, or even ask for more time so that you can make
an informed decision before accepting any offers.
Go
Door-to-Door with a Resume
We get it — times were different back when our parents were
applying for jobs. They had no choice but to go door-to-door with their resumes
and hope for the best! Nowadays though, technology has made things much easier
for job seekers. You can look online for open positions or send emails directly
to hiring managers — all without having to leave your house! Plus, there are
also lots of helpful resources such as LinkedIn, Indeed,
and employment
agencies that can help make your job search simpler and more efficient than
ever before.
At the end of the day, your parents’ career advice might not
always be up to date with today’s world, but they do still have valuable
experience that can help guide you toward success in your career journey. Take
their guidance where appropriate but don’t be
afraid to explore other options or opportunities either! With hard work and
dedication, you'll eventually find yourself in a place where you're doing what
you love every single day!
