A man who's interviewed over 2,000 of the world's most successful people shares his 3 best pieces of career advice Author Dan Schawbel has interviewed thousands of business leaders for his books on career success and workplace communication. He revealed his three best pieces of career advice in an interview with Forbes published Tuesday. He recommends people try many different experiences at work, be proactive about finding the right opportunities, and develop their soft skills. Here’s what he said: ‘Have as many experiences as early in your career as possible’ “You won’t find your passion, purpose and ‘sweet spot’ unless you try a lot of different projects with a variety of people, in various jobs and careers,” Schawbel told Friedman. “These experiences will give you the self-awareness required to make the best and most authentic decisions around your work life.” ‘Be accountable for your career and take charge of your life’ “Opportunities aren’t going to magically appear and ‘hope’ isn’t a good career strategy,” he said. “At the end of the day, you need to put the effort in to make things happen so don’t rely on others, when it’s your career not theirs.” ‘Develop your soft skills’ “When we asked what managers are looking for when deciding whom to promote, it was soft skills. These include communication skills, the ability to prioritise work and teamwork,” Schawbel said. “Spend more time connecting with people and use technology to automate and eliminate the work that needs to be done, but doesn’t carry as much importance as your business relationships.” https://www.businessinsider.com.au/career-advice-dan-schawbel-2018-12
White-collar scum-sucker. He hasn't worked an honest day's blue-collar work in his life. "...the ability to prioritise work and teamwork,” "“Spend more time connecting with people and use technology to automate and eliminate the work that needs to be done, but doesn’t carry as much importance as your business relationships.”" So promote the work that helps the team, but not if it interferes with your own personal goals so you can get ahead. The fack is this psychobabble?
