help you get a step ahead in your career. You must extend your base of knowledge, what

Kahoot activity

Luis intervendrá luego de que se haya realizado cada pregunta y se haya revisado la

Be willing to learn

Being ready to learn means that while we are professionals we must be prepared to deepen
the activities that our professional work demands of us, and in this continuous learning
process we are training to be better professionals every day, to be closer to being successful
and to achieve our professional and personal goals. When we talk about being successful, we
do not mean fortune, money and fame. No! The success to which we refer in this show is the
one that is given for the satisfaction of a well done action, of a responsibility fulfilled, of
fulfilling the duty of the profession in which we are formed, and especially to be aware of the
impact our actions have on the lives of our coworkers, bosses and people around us.

Have questions

We never stop learning after graduating as professionals, so being curious and always
generating questions is one of the steps that will bring us closer to professional success, as
they show our interest in going beyond the functions for which we were hired, is to have the
opportunity to ask ourselves how to improve a process? How to be more assertive? How can
we apply our knowledge efficiently?

Be coachable

Being ready to be trained in new skills will allow us to be professionals open to change,
propositive and willing to leave our comfort zone, so taking advantage of these training and
training opportunities will make our professional image valued and can lead us to promotions
(promotes), and better wage conditions, as well as provide us with professional satisfaction of
the duty fulfilled.
Life is different from college

Indeed, professional success starts from recognizing the differences between studying at
university and working in the career we study. When we are students, we can make mistakes,
fail and feel bad about it, but the consequences will not be to miss an exam, a note or not to
pass the subject. At the university there are more opportunities to learn and correct our
mistakes while in professional life make mistakes can lead to calls for attention (written and
verbal memoranda) oral and written, disciplinary investigations by the ethics committees of
each career, loss of the professional card, become unemployed and even criminal sanctions.

Pay attention

Every detail in our professional work is important and it involves paying attention to every
life lesson we can receive in the development of our professional work and that can be from
our professional circle or even from people with whom we interact in our daily lives. We
must also pay attention when they are explaining to us some specific work task in our work,
because this will enable our work to be carried out efficiently and effectively.
