Even the choice of the first job influences the future career path

Equipped with theoretical knowledge and ambitious dreams, university graduates are highly motivated and full of expectations as they begin their careers. They all want to be successful, maybe even become managers, and if possible have a high salary and an enviable position in upper management. Why not? Everything is possible. But only if you decide on the right path quickly enough!

The first 5 years are what count.
Once they have finally finished their studies, young academics first think communication email list about where they would best start their career, which companies they would like to work for and how they can get their dream job. If they don't succeed straight away, they often take their time, firmly convinced that they haven't missed anything. A serious mistake! Because if you want to have a career as a manager, you have to really get going straight after university.
As numerous studies show, the first five years in particular are extremely important for further professional success and promotion. So don't wait, but define your goals clearly and work out a good plan.


A recent study by the Strada Institute for the Future of Work and the software company Burning Glass Technologies shows that this decision has a direct impact on future career development.
According to the study, 87% of graduates who started a job that matched their qualifications right away still had a suitable position and higher pay five years later. On the other hand, those who took it slow and initially opted for an interim job for which they were actually overqualified never really caught up. The study also claims that overqualified employees earn an average of $10,000 less per year than college graduates who choose a suitable job right from the start.
The first important decision is therefore not to compromise and to look for a job that matches your acquired qualifications and requirements right after college.
