This International HR Day, let's recognise the contribution of HRs in recruiting, training, and engaging employees within organisations. Happy International HR Day!

Did you know that 89% of workers believe networking is crucial to unlock new opportunities? (Source: Study by Gallup and McKinsey & Company in 2017)

Through networking, you can connect with people in your industry and learn about career paths and how you can advance in your chosen profession.

The two unwritten rules for candidates appearing for interviews are to avoid excessive humour (it may show that you are not taking the interview process seriously) and overconfidence (overconfidence shows that you may not actually be knowledgeable about the job and are pretending to be knowledgeable).

Here are some career mistakes that one should avoid:

1. Not taking responsibility is a major mistake, and it is only by fulfilling tasks that a person learns on the job.

2. Not networking harms career growth as a person is not able to learn from the experience of other professionals.

3. Not making decisions that help your career grow is a mistake. For example, a professional may decide to apply for the role of a sales manager after working as a business development executive for many years.

4. Not upskilling is a major mistake one should always avoid. A job should be more than the monetary compensation and one should learn new skills (soft skills/work-related skills) to perform their tasks better.
