3 mistakes can be accepted in the career path

Here are 3 mistakes you are allowed to make in your work duration, but, remember doing it only one time.

1. Promise too much and can’t do it.

If you are a newbie in your office, possibility you want to create a good impression with your boss, customers or your peers so much that you can cost anything to prove.

To get an important contract, you probably will exaggerate about company services or commodities. If your company is a big and famous one, this seems unnecessary. But for a new entrepreneur, it turns to be an error which cost you the good customers and your reputation. Had better based on the fact of what you can offer, whether they are your clients, employer or your coworkers. Then the risk is only how to control the implementation and complete exactly or even better than what you have promised and do not disappoint the people you have committed.

2. Participate in an interview without preparation.

Do not think any interview is only “meeting and say hello” type. It is your chance to sell yourself, emphasize your skills and personality. Practice at home the most common questions and answer according to the way as a candidate they are looking for. Imagine when the recruiters ask you “What makes you think you are eligible for this position?” or “Give us a criticism for the latest project of the company”, and all you can do is stare back at them, find your tongue and make it works. If you do not do any research about the position, the company you want to apply, how you could have any idea to answer. It’s not only embarrassed but also the fastest way to push you out of an interview by showing your ill-prepared.

3. Reject an opportunity because of the fear

Have you ever been tempted to refuse an expansion project or a chance because you're swamped with work and could not afford anything else? But if you dig a little deeper in your plan, you’ll see you are actually pushing them away because you doubt of your ability and are afraid to fail. Maybe now you are comfortable with the current position and not sure to success in a new role. In general, feel like you attend to a gamble, the place you are standing is safer.

If you’ve ever made that mistake, next time make sure that you can estimate the role, project or opportunity to decide whether it really does not suit you or your career goals. You certainly never have to regret to slip it away because you will realize the risks always have a worthy reward.
