I remember sitting at my first ever mahogany work desk in American Samoa, nine years ago. Never did I imagine that I would be where I am right now. If I had the chance to speak to that overzealous girl exclaiming she's an official adult with a job, I would tell her five things I've learned so far in my journey that I wish I knew then:1. Mistakes do not equate to failure. Take each and every mistake as lessons and stepping stones to being better. Failure is when you throw in the towel and quit. Utilize and exhaust all your resources, both physical and logical. Education goes beyond earning a degree. 2. Stay out of your mind. Your biggest competition is yourself. My favorite quote: It's me vs. me. The whole office is not concerned about what you lack professionally but what you can bring to the table to prove that you deserve a seat there. Remember that everyone has a goal to meet and not everything is personal. Don't be too hard on yourself. Value the genuine friendships you make in the office.3. Take rejection as a redirection. Some No's can mean for you to kNOw your next move. This doesn't mean packing your bags and moving out of the country just because your manager told you that they've decided to push forward with another candidate. Redirect your focus and strategize what your plan B, C, D, E will be. 4. Be patient. You are not running the same race as everyone. Comparison is the thief of joy and also the same thief that will trip you over on the right track. Cultivate and nurture your own lane for the right offers will land in due time. 5. Health is wealth. Mental, emotional, and physical health play a huge role in your daily routines. Take those sick leaves when you're mentally and emotionally overwhelmed then come back in to put in the 110% effort to conquer the daily goals.Now an administrative assistant with the VA Pacific Islands Health Care System in Honolulu, Hawaii. One of the many destinations I've landed when I catapulted myself from one end to the other (literally) searching for new work spaces to experience, business-minded people to network with, and skills to add to my belt. The journey continues.
