  1. um
  2. one of the first things my brother said when I was interviewing him was that
  3. You have to know yourself before you start a career,
  4. especially a professional one
  5. because you don't want to get stuck in an unhappy job
  6. where it doesn't benefit anyone because you're unhappy.
  7. Everyone is unhappy if you do not like your job, because I feel that when you get a job
  8. I feel like you have to like it, you have to love your job in order to be happy
  9. and maintain a stable relationship with your job and your co workers. You can't
  10. not like your job.
  11. For example, when I get a job
  12. I would I want to be able to like my job
  13. as much as other people in the job, I want to be able to help people,
  14. That makes sense.
  15. Um
  16. one of my,
  17. one of the second things he said was to know
  18. your strengths and your weaknesses because everybody has strengths and
  19. weaknesses. Everybody has strengths and weaknesses
  20. and you can benefit from both of them actually.
  21. But what are my shrinks is that
  22. I can talk to people,
  23. That makes sense.
  24. I mean obviously I'm I guess I'm a little shy, but also I can talk to anybody,
  25. I can still talk to anybody
  26. and I feel like that would really benefit me in my workplace,
  27. since when you walk in, for example,
  28. your client and you walked in and you want to feel welcome into that workplace,
  29. you want to feel like you want to trust
  30. your employee,
  31. you want to trust the person who is helping you out with your problems right now.
  32. And I feel like I can make people feel welcome.
  33. But one of my weaknesses is that I really suck at spelling.
  34. Like I really suck at spelling.
  35. It can be the simplest things like
  36. because,
  37. but I'm just sexy. So I mean, it makes sense. For example, like
  38. I would switch D. With B or B with D.
  39. That makes sense. Yeah.
  40. Wait, no, I just said that backwards, but you know what, I'm trying to get, um,
  41. one of the third things he says, what for third thing he said
  42. was
  43. don't set limits for yourself
  44. when you're in your job.
  45. Um,
  46. when you're already at the top of your job,
  47. you're already getting high paid.
  48. Let's say you're like the manager of like every company,
  49. there's nowhere to go but up
  50. unless you really suck at your job and you go down,
  51. but there's really nowhere to go. But up.
  52. If you're having those accomplishments over and over and over again,
  53. you don't want to sell limits to yourself.
  54. You don't want to be scared to try something new.
  55. one of the four things he says
  56. was to get involved, get involved, get involved in jobs.
  57. I mean, sorry, not jobs, clubs, organization may be posted on social media
  58. to try and get it out there, get your organization out there,
  59. get your what you want to do out there so you can meet people
  60. because if you're, you can meet people who like the same things as you.
  61. The 5th thing he said was
  62. to start early,
  63. that's already what we're doing basically.
  64. We're obviously we're in the early college program
  65. and we're getting a head start on everything.
  66. We have credits for college already.
  67. And you know, some people do say that it's a quick waste of time and
  68. you're wasting your youth or something.
  69. But I mean I feel like I'm getting something done
  70. that I probably won't get done in the future.
  71. A lot of people think that we don't have time for these things
  72. later on in my life,
  73. but we do,
  74. we have plenty of time.
  75. We have all the time in the world. Actually
  76. one of the six. Um sorry. The sixth thing he said
  77. was some secretive seek advice.
  78. Find an advisor,
  79. find someone who likes the same things
  80. about your career.
  81. Find that one friend,
  82. that one friend is going to introduce you to other people
  83. who like the same thing as you.
  84. And once you get involved
  85. with those organizations and those groups,
  86. I told you about those groups and organizations are going to trust you.
  87. And let's say you get fired at this job,
  88. this this person over here who knew you from
  89. their organization and you guys are like best friends
  90. and he knows that you're good at your job.
  91. He's going to hire you
  92. because he wants you in your business,
  93. basically all of these people are like you're
  94. best friends but can also be your enemies.
  95. But I mean obviously like
  96. everybody has the benefit of the doubt.
  97. Um,
  98. the last thing he said
  99. was to look everywhere.
  100. El paso is a small city,
  101. well kind of small city. We actually have grown a lot over the years,
  102. but
  103. don't be afraid to look somewhere out of the country
  104. or I'm sorry, out of the country. Yeah.
  105. Even out of the country, go to California Utah and new york
  106. anywhere really
  107. just
  108. don't be afraid because there's a lot of job opportunities outside el paso.
  109. I know it seems like, oh, I don't want to live,
  110. I don't want to leave chucho town because it's still hometown.
  111. You know, it's still hometown.
  112. We all see juan selling tamales at the freaking corner.
  113. All we can, all we can know is that
  114. we'll never know what's out there until we leave our hometown.
  115. Um, so those are the seven tips I got for my professional career path
