Every career in any field, of course, each individual has its own targets to be achieved. However, these career targets may be hampered because of your own mistakes. There are at least 10 mistakes that you should avoid in your career, see below!
 
1. Don't Want to Get Out of the Comfort Zone
Working long hours will get you into your comfort zone at work. However, this should be watched out for because the comfort zone can make you feel too comfortable so you feel reluctant to get out of the zone. In fact, getting out of your comfort zone can help you move forward in terms of a career.
 
2. Not feeling good at work
Every job must have a work-life balance. You should feel good about doing your current job. By having a balanced work life, you will be able to achieve success easily. If you don't feel happy doing your current job, of course, your time will be wasted, right? In addition, you are also not providing good performance for the company.
 
3. Wasting Opportunities
In career life, of course, you will be faced with several opportunities that exist. Both opportunities in terms of reputation, networking, climbing the career ladder, to other small things. Whatever good opportunities you face, can be a help in supporting your career. If you feel afraid and don't want to take this opportunity, of course, your career can be hampered.

4. Not Limiting Personal and Work Life
Having relationships with other people outside the world of work must be maintained carefully if you want your career to run smoothly. Guarded here means to be limited between personal life and also work life. When working in an office, you have to act professionally. Even more so if you have personal relationships with your co-workers. Usually, the company also avoids employees who have personal relationships in the work environment because these employees are prone to being unprofessional.
 
5. Always Envy of Others
Every employee in the company has different opportunities. There are those who can easily climb their careers, there are also those who are a little late. If you like to feel jealous of other people, such as considering other people's work more fun, you may be included in an employee whose career is moving slowly. Because you are busy feeling jealous, you forget to focus on yourself so you can have a successful career. Be humble and don't always assume that other people have a better life.
 
6. Lack of Sharpening Ability
The development of technology and other things forces everyone to always be updated with the surrounding environment. It's the same with abilities that must always be honed. By honing your skills, you can develop your skills and add experience to use in your career.

7. Fear of Taking Risks
When looking to grow in terms of a career, sometimes there are one or more risks that you have to face. However, do not be afraid first. This risk can be part of your career development. People who want to get ahead should not be afraid to take risks. Based on the experience and understanding that you already have, these risks can be easily faced if you are one of those who want to get ahead.
 
8. Confused in Arranging Work
Organizing work is one of the most basic things in work. If you are still confused about how to organize work, your career can be hampered. Because the higher a person's career, of course, the more work will be more and more. Begin by making a priority list of work. By making this list, you can easily determine which jobs should be done first.
 
9. Wasting Time
If you feel that your current job is no longer your passion, it's time for you to look for new opportunities. Both opportunities are in the same field but in other companies, as well as in other fields and companies. Do not waste the time you have and seize the opportunities that exist that can help you move up in your career.
