My First Week as a "Young Professional"

[Joyzfsddt66]

Last week was my first as a full-time employee. Even though I’ve been working at the Graduate Recruitment Bureau for a year and a half as a part-timer, it’s still kind of a career move. Sort of. But either way, this week really opened my eyes to working life, and the reservations that I did have, now seem irrelevant. Lizzi Hart, a now full-time Marketing Assistant, explains more.

The term “young professional” still doesn’t sit quite right with me. In comparison austria whatsapp phone number with the term “working graduate,” it seems overly pretentious and the sort of label you’d use to mask the student habits that you still haven’t shaken. I still eat pot noodles, I would still wake up at 12pm if I could, and I have no qualms about eating cereal from a saucepan. But then I’ve only been an ‘adult’ for 7 days. Maybe my youthful nonchalance will trickle away sooner than I’d thought.

So if you’re soon to join me in the world of graduate work, but not sure what it’s like, read on for some of my insights.



Socialising is important
Sure, you may still have your own group of friends to see after you clock off, like myself, but you should still put the effort in with your work colleagues. Of course, don’t go overboard and spend hours nattering by the water cooler, but spending lunchtime with work-mates will definitely help in the long-term.
