Over the next week, whilst you are getting your house in order to start your own home-based recruitment agency, I will be sending through 15 Career Mistakes You Might Be Making Without Realising It.

Firstly, success at work takes more than just talent—it also requires awareness of common mistakes that can quietly hold you back. 

Some career missteps aren’t immediately obvious, and you may not realize you're making them until they start limiting your growth. 

The good news? 

Once you recognize these mistakes, you can take steps to correct them and improve your professional trajectory.

1. Saying Yes to Everything

Taking on extra work can make you seem helpful and dependable, but constantly saying yes can quickly lead to burnout. 

If you never set boundaries, you risk becoming overwhelmed and unable to focus on tasks that truly matter. 

Learning to say no strategically allows you to protect your time, energy, and overall career growth.

2. Avoiding Difficult but Necessary Conversations

Whether it’s asking for a raise, addressing workplace issues, or clarifying expectations, dodging uncomfortable conversations can silently stall your career. 

Avoiding these discussions may feel easier in the short term, but it can lead to missed opportunities and lingering frustrations.

Professionals who get ahead aren’t those who never face problems—they're the ones who tackle them head-on.

3. Keeping Your Head Down and Hoping to Be Noticed

Hard work is essential, but simply doing your job well isn’t always enough to get ahead. 

If you assume your efforts will be recognised without you speaking up, you could be waiting a long time.

Instead, be proactive: highlight your contributions, take on visible projects, and make sure key decision-makers see your value.
