Career Advice from our community

April 7, 2016 by FlexCareers Leave a Comment

We absolutely love connecting with our community. What we love more is facilitating connections within our community and witness the gift of giving and support as our members share their insights from their own journeys and help others along theirs. Recently 24 of our community members shared gheir best career advice or the career mantra by which they live. There will be something for everyone in this post:

The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.

You know it is time to leave a company when there is pro-longed imbalance of ‘I owe you’ between you and your employer

Do what you love, love what you do. Grab life


You need to take responsibility for your own career. No-one else will do it for you.

The sky is the limit.

Fake it and then learn how to do it

Just do it.

Believe in yourself.


Say yes you can do it and learn how later.

What gets measured gets done.

Fail to plan. Plan to fail.

It’s your choice….choose to make the most of your situation or move on.

What gets measured, gets done.


Be the change you wish to see.

You are the CEO of your career.

It’s better to do something than nothing. Take small steps towards your goal.

It works both ways.

Don’t undervalue yourself or let anyone else undervalue you.

Perception is everything.

Do what you like to do, what you are good at and what is in demand.

Keep in contact with your network.

Know your highest values and align your plan with these.

It is what it is.

Do what you love because then it isn’t work.
