5. Things to Consider You most likely will not start out at the top. Most upper level jobs require experience – YOU HAVE NONE. You may have to work a job in a related field at first. Plan to continue your education/training. Every job is important – even minimum wage or temporary jobs. Always do your very best – make yourself indispensable. Sometimes you have to move sideways to move up. Do your best to get along with ALL of your coworkers. Beware of Social Media – Don’t post things your boss shouldn’t see.
