5 Ways To Make A Successful Career in 2015

#2.Be the change you want to see

Before you point at someone for not making progress, you should do something to bring some changes yourselves. “Many companies still run up against the digital divide and shrink from pushing past the old way of doing things. That’s why, if you’re a millennial, you should play up your unique ‘digital native’ talents (real and perceived) to spur innovation on your teams," Schawbel said. "Companies are hungry for new ideas, and while millennials are champions of change. All professionals should strive for adaptability.”

#3.Prove you’re a team player

Prove your capabilities at work almost every job requires having some level of team skills. There is social interaction in the workplace and you may have to work with others at times, which is why having the skills is important. Employers want independent employees who can take care of themselves.

“Although millennials are seen as providing critical advantages, thanks to their fresh thinking and entrepreneurialism. Findings of our study showed that, when asked which generation was more likely to be team players, only 27 percent of hiring managers chose millennials rather than Gen X," Bisharat explains. "This perception, whether reality or not, is a demerit that can slow career growth. If you’re a member of this youngest generation of professionals, make sure to develop teamwork skills to prove this impression wrong. If you’re a more established professional, be open to working closely with and mentoring millennials.”
