3 Keys To Career Success For Millennials

 

 
The Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomers are two of the most influential 
age groups in the history of the United States and have left incredible footprints 
on our society. However, it’s the millennials who now comprise the largest 
living generation with over 75 million people. But with limited job prospects, 
staggering college loans and tougher career paths, finding the trail to success 
has been tougher than in the past.
 
But, Nicole Smartt found a way – the old fashioned way by starting at the bottom 
and working her way to the top, becoming the Co-owner and Vice President of 
Star Staffing.  In her book "From Receptionist to Boss: Real-life Advice for 
Getting Ahead at Work,” Smartt details the steps she took from achieving that 
goal in less than 7 years en route to becoming the youngest person to be awarded 
the “Forty Under 40” award by the North Bay Business Journal.
 
Smartt says, “One of the biggest things younger workers can do to get ahead 
is be an exemplary leader, take on extra tasks and ask what more you can do?” 
She’ll share with your listeners 3 ways millennials can climb the career ladder:
 
• Be a winner at working hard. Never clock out. Constantly learn, grow and 
improve.
• It’s all about connections. Become an owner of your career through connections. 
Find the right people/mentors who match your goals, attitude and energy level.
• Be a lifetime learner.  Learning doesn’t end when you graduate – stay ahead 
of the curve.
