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.
13. Staying in the Wrong Industry
Sometimes, the issue isn’t your job—it’s the entire industry.
If you
constantly feel unfulfilled or drained, it might be a sign that you need a career shift.
Changing industries can be intimidating, but many people successfully pivot into new fields.
If what you’re doing isn’t making you happy, exploring other options may be the best decision you can make.
14.
Letting Fear Stop You from Taking Risks
Applying for a job you’re not 100% qualified for, going after a promotion, or making a career switch can feel scary, but playing it too safe can keep you stuck.
Most career growth happens outside your comfort zone.
The people who get ahead aren’t always the most qualified—they’re often the
ones willing to take the leap.
15. Failing to Plan for the Future
It’s easy to focus only on your current job and forget to think long-term.
But if you don’t have a career plan, you might end up drifting without direction.
Setting clear goals, identifying
skills you need to develop, and planning your next steps can help ensure you're moving toward the career you want.
Final Thoughts
No one’s career is perfect, and mistakes are part of the learning process.
However, by recognising and addressing these common pitfalls, you can take control of your professional growth.
Whether it’s setting boundaries, advocating for yourself, or stepping out of your comfort zone, small changes can make a big difference in your success
