Reflecting on my journey from intern to where I am today, I can’t stress enough the importance of giving your best, especially in those early stages of your career. While no one wants to feel exploited, embracing every opportunity to go above and beyond can truly propel your growth. As an entry-level zone support officer, I seized every chance to take initiative, learn, and support my team. Even without a direct manager, I stepped up to ensure projects were on track and stakeholders engaged. I was scouted for a new role not just any role, but one that promised greater responsibility and opportunity for growth. I transitioned into the role of a project coordinator, where I found myself supervising other zone support officers, a responsibility that I embraced wholeheartedly. It’s been an incredible journey of learning, growth, and evolution. Today, I find myself not just leading projects, but also mentoring interns and fellow officers, passing on the knowledge and skills I’ve gained along the way. It’s a testament to the power of seizing every opportunity, giving your best, and never underestimating the potential for growth, even in the face of challenges.Don’t underestimate the power of your mindset in shaping your career trajectory. Take ownership, be proactive, and watch how it sets you apart. #CareerAdvice #Internship #ProfessionalGrowth”

Companies Don’t Need Interns to Teach Them; They Need salesmen 💀 I've grown frustrated with the selfish agendas of many companies today. Instead of investing in the next generation by teaching and mentoring interns, they prioritize hiring interns to boost immediate profits. It’s time we challenge this mindset. Companies should focus on nurturing young talent and providing opportunities for growth, not just chasing quick wins. Education and mentorship are key to building a sustainable future. #Education #Mentorship #Internship #CareerDevelopment #FutureLeaders #BusinessCulture #TalentDevelopment
