Post from Transformation Tom™- Passage from “Now What: The Ultimate Graduation Gift for Professional Success”

You may be young and naïve, and typically start

on the ground floor.

It will be good to find a solid mentor.

But realize you too can be an advisor;

it’s not out of reach,

For you have so much to share and

so much to teach.

You should work for this company because I’ve heard…” or, “You
shouldn’t work for this company because…” I heard once at my
former employer that a company up the road, constant competition for
new hires, would tell prospective candidates that our company was going
to close down in the next year or two, so it was best to apply now, while
opportunities were still available. I don’t know if there was any truth to
that rumor, but I do know the need to corroborate stories and separate
fact from fiction. The rumor mill can be a scary place on which to base an
important professional decision that could impact you and your family.
As you pursue potential companies, make sure you have multiple sources
of information, including people who currently work there, people who
used to work there, news media, and social media sources to help formulate
your opinions using facts. You may not want to dismiss hearsay so
quickly, but you do want to do your due diligence prior to making any
rash decisions.

You may hear, “Dress to impress,

you’re always on stage.”

Being yourself can be hard but just try to gauge.

Hold your head up high and get the job done.

Be true to yourself and you’ll

know that you’ve won.

Spell check doesn’t count as editing—just ask any manger [sic] or, on
one of my résumé examples, where I wrote business singular when
I meant it to be plural businesses. There are some techniques to tighten
up the process, which include waiting until the day after writing to
proofread, printing something out, reading it backward, and reading it
aloud. What you must remember is that your mind substitutes missing
and wrong letters and words naturally for you. As much as we may convince
ourselves that we can do it on our own, you should not proofread
your own work.
