Noted :: If You Knew Then, What You Know Now…

It’s that time of year – graduation. I’ve been seeing countless videos of commencement speeches, articles on career and interviewing advice and social media postings of photos and congratulatory messages for students of all ages. This is a very exciting time of year as summer approaches, the weather is getting nicer and everyone seems in the mood for “change.” It can also be a frightening time for graduates. In thinking back to my own college graduation and I had a mix of both excitement and nervousness for what was ahead. What would I do, where would I live, could I get a job right away, what did I want my job to be? So as I see all the hopeful, yet nervous photos of recent college graduates, it always has me thinking the same thing – what advice do you wish you could go back and give yourself after you graduate.

Here are a few of my favorite pieces of advice ::

1. Don’t Look Back

2. Keep Learning

3. Find Your Passion

4. Try Harder

5. Don’t {Always} Play It Safe

Now, its your turn :: pass along your advice to your younger-self on our Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest Pages.
