Your first day on the job can be challenging.

You can often feel overwhelmed and unprepared.

Here are 3 things I learned in my first engineering position.

1️⃣ Don’t feel like you have to know everything. There is nobody that knows everything in a given setting. If someone tells you they do… they are lying.

2️⃣ Be humble and learn eagerly. Being arrogant and ignorant is a toxic combination. There are plenty of people that will willingly teach you what they know if you are humble enough to listen.

3️⃣ If you don’t know the answer to a problem, knowing where to find the answer is often better in the long run. Relationships lead to more answers down the road.

I used these things to navigate my first engineering role and it continues to help to this day.

Cheers!
