Do something you enjoySomeone said to me early on, "Find something you enjoy doing." When you enjoy what you do, you're more effective. It's that simple.

Sometimes it takes time to find a great fit, but it's always worth it.Tom Murry, former CEO of Calvin Klein2. Be curious and ask questionsNo matter what career stage you are in, whether you are looking for your first post-grad job or have years of experience on your resume, it's important to never stop learning. Be curious and ask questions. Many people find themselves paralyzed by the fear of not seeming smart or qualified enough for the job, but even the most successful professionals are constantly asking questions to help inform how they do their jobs, build their confidence, and propel them forward.Sarah Stoddard, senior public relations specialist at Glassdoor3.
