Things I've Learned Working With (for) Some Of The Biggest Names And Elites In My Field;

Things I've learned working with (for) some of the biggest names and elites in my field;

1. If you can Google it, don't ask it

2. If you don't know enough about it to be an expert don't talk about it

3. Your bachelor's means nothing. Most of those absolute gods haven't even studied this field and they're winning. Experience >>>> certification

4. Stay as far away from your fineeeeee specimen of a boss (there's a story here but the idea is FLEEE TEMPTATION)

5. Only narcissists like a flatterer. No one wants to be constantly told how awesome they are it's actually kind of embarrassing. Cut out the hero worship, find the balance between treating them as equals but knowing youre not.

6. Survival for the fittest. Only the strong survive

7. Leave your morals at home. In this world you do whatever it takes until the only option left is to sell your soul, then its better to go home.

8. Never outshine the masters. This intern was doing so good he got fired it's sad to watch but Robert Greene said what he said.

9. No oneeeeeeeeeeee cares about your accomplishments, leave past glory at home. 'I'm the smartest in my class' okay well so is everyone.

10. Let your competition stay comfortable and move in silence. Shoutout to my fineeeeeeeeee boss for this piece of advise btw. (Yall the man is so fine though )

11. Know your place. Learn the hierarchy and stick to your post, rise slowly in the background (I'll make a post about it)

12. The elite of the elite are some of the most insecure people in this planet. Due to the nature of my field I've met actual real life elites, News frequenters, heirs , business moguls (journalism major here) and my God what an insecure bunch.

13. Networking >>>> work. Working hard is great but all success is networking. Know who's who.

14. Just because someone is in a position of power doesn't mean they're the ones in power. I've seen bosses cave under employees. When you learn hierarchy,learn who ACTUALLY holds the power.

15. Workplace boundaries are everything. Matter of fact I think your workplace is the one place you need the most boundaries in. Either establish yourself or get used ( the other interns were telling me about how the bosses would call them at MIDNIGHT with work lol and there was me who doesn't even look at my phone after ten. Also, SEXUAL HARRASMENT gawd. Deeeesgoooosting. Boundaries, ladies. Boundaries)

16. Do not go above and beyond no one cares. Do whatever you're getting paid to do and go home.

17. Your workmates are NOT your friends. It's not a team nor a family. Look out for your best interests.

10 tips for casual elegance ⋆｡𖦹 °✩

Reading. Reading. Reading. Being well-read is so valuable!! Get cosy, pick up a Jane Austen, Emily Brontë, or maybe a Charles Dickens and spend some of your free time indulging in literature. <3

Soft-spoken and kind expressions. No one likes being around rude people. Being a bitch doesn’t make you look confident. Instead, be kind, make conversation, pay attention, engage, etc… trust me.

Dainty jewellery. Find some high-quality signature pieces.

Think before you speak. Take a moment to reflect on your thoughts so you can speak confidently and with intent without stumbling over your words!! <3

Quality over quantity. Stop buying large amounts of cheap clothing; instead, save up and invest in higher-quality pieces that will actually last you. :)

Practice your handwriting. Having pretty and neat handwriting is a lovely little detail; extra points if you write in cursive. ;)

Drop the slang words. Bro, cap, sus, drip, rizz, mid… just stop, please.

Keep to yourself. Small circle, no bragging, gossips only with the closest, keep your plans to yourself.

Watch your posture. Straighten that back, honey. I see you. :))

Manicured nails. I do mine every two weeks. Almond-shaped, always dark red. <3

As always, Please feel free to add your own suggestions and tips in the comments!! ♡ ₊ ⊹

✩‧₊*:・love ya ･:*₊‧✩
