Starting out in a new career is exciting. Finally, it feels like "real life" is beginning! The truth is, though, the things you've learned in school haven't necessarily prepared you for the work world. The skills that are required to succeed in a career are different from those required to succeed in school.  Many of these differences include personal and social skills that cause others to like you and want to help you in your career. Others include "tooting your own horn" and aggressively marketing and promoting yourself. Still others are mental habits that you will want to develop and cultivate.

The best time to take charge of your career path is now - right at the beginning. You are certainly smart enough to learn the job skills that you new job will require, but your employer won't teach you the most important factors in launching your career success.  Even more important than learning about your new job is learning to avoid career-killing mistakes that can disable you as you enter the workworld. 

With this in mind, Thinque has put together the 7 Career Mistakes you must avoid as you begin your career.
