Knobull Provides Guidance To Avoid Self-Inflicted Career Mistakes

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Amzeal -- Lynn Bentley, President of Knobull announced, "When things don't go your way, it's easy to look around for someone or something to blame. You may be right; bad bosses and economic uncertainty are out of our control and the fallout can derail your career. But sometimes the culprit for stalled professional progression could be staring back at you in the mirror. Before you decide to quit your job due to lack of upward mobility, consider if you're committing one (or more) of these career mistakes:"

To advance in your career, you need to understand what you love to do and what you don't love to do. Some of those are changeable in small ways, but a lot of them are an enduring part of who you are. You've got to understand which parts of you move with you when you move anywhere.

Having a solid network is crucial in your career progression. As you move up and gather more experience, it's important to realize that people in your past are your allies. Be careful about closing the past chapters of your career.

Whether you're a leader or an employee, you're part of a team. If you're unable to take critical feedback in a positive way and become defensive when offered guidance, you're not only putting the brakes on your own development, you'll also likely be seen as someone that others don't want to work with.

Rigidity around change, which often happens during times of uncertainty, is another career-killer. Employees who've mastered their roles often don't respond well to having to adapt to new ways of doing things.

Bentley concluded, "The key to stop sabotaging your career is to stop swinging for home runs. Start hitting singles, which really means exercise the freedom you have to create the job of your dreams. Everyday wake up and think about the red threads—the things you love to do—you can weave into your day.
