1. Show Drive and Ambition: Take on work others don’t want to do. Employers will value you–and reward you for it too.
2. Always do your Best: Even if your job sucks and you hate it

3. Don’t Burn Bridges: Always leave your job on good terms, even if they fail you. You want them to say positive things about you.
4. Never Speak Negatively About Previous Employers: Take your grandma’s advice. If you don’t have anything positive to say, don’t say anything.
5. Don’t Post Your Life Drama on Facebook: It scares off employers. They have enough drama in the workplace already. They don’t need yours too.
6. Always be on the look out for the Next BIG Thing: If you wait until you’re ready to leave your job to look for another, it’ll be stressful and emotional, but if you’re always on the look out, then it becomes a luxury. The sky’s the limit!
7. Stay Open to Learning: If you stop reading, acquiring new skills, and researching after college, you won’t be much competition for most people. And you will likely never make six figures.
8. Apply for Jobs that are Over Your Head: A good challenge will help you learn and grow–and best of all boost your confidence.
9. Never Quit Your Job Before You Have Another: We’re all more appealing when we have a job.
10. Know Your Destination: Each new job should be a stepping stone to your ultimate destination, and each one should help you learn something new and move you up the corporate ladder or advance you on your career path. If it doesn’t, then it’s not worth taking.
BONUS: Never switch jobs for less than a 20% increase–but ask for 25%!
Onward!
