Here To Help

I’ve argued for some time that showing up isn’t even half the battle. Showing up to learn something, attending seminars, job shadowing and the alike are overrated and misunderstood. And quite frankly, a waste of a professional’s or an employer’s time.

Professionals don’t want you near them to just watch and learn anymore, people want you there to help. The learning happens along the way.

If you’re asking what you can watch, what you can observe, what you can listen to or read up on, then you’re asking the wrong questions.

Better to ask how you can help, what you can create, who needs assistance?

Seeing adds to memory. Doing adds to experience.

Guess which is more valuable when it comes to employment?

 

Stay Positive & Yes, It Is Harder, But More Worth It Too
