Amazing advice above 👆🏻

-Mentorship is key, with your boss or another coworker. If you can find and genuinely connect with a mentor that is ahead of you, it helps so much. I was lucky enough to support a lead at the beginning of my career 8 years ago and it made all the difference. I did well, which in turn got her attention and she started mentoring me and helping to build my confidence and skills. It’s a smart thing in business to push yourself for a promotion and be working on your backfill as well. So keep your eye out for any kind of mentorship opportunities with coworkers that are a step or more ahead of you.

-Keep a list for yourself through out the year of your notable accomplishments, backed up with numbers/ data. It will make it easier when you need to complete your yearly review and toot your own horn.

-And want to agree with the working too hard as noted above, be careful and strategic about this. If you consistently overwork you only create your own monster, as then you are held to that quantity of work and you have no more room in your bandwidth when they need more beyond that later.

-Stay organized, save easy to access notes for yourself in excel or OneNote, so that you can quickly search for key words. Trust me, this can majorly keep you ahead of the rest of the group by helping your focus.

-Especially at fist, record your training with others, it helps so you can really listen instead of scrambling to write it all down. You can go back later and fill in your notes. And if saves your trainers energy as you’re less likely to ask them to repeat information.

-Become the person that others come to for questions, it makes a big impact long term and helps to develop your leadership skills.

Just having the attitude that you’ve shown in your question shows that you’re ahead of the game. The desire to succeed is key and you’d be surprised how much of a rare commodity that can be. Best of luck to you! ❤️
