Words of wisdom? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?

I am a type A person. I am a recent graduate. I have Master's Degree at age 22. I want to get things done very fast. I have been applied for jobs in the past months. I have been to many interviews with many huge organizations. Unfortunately, they don't hire because I am young and lack of experiences. Well, I refuse to work as an assistant since I am holding my Master's Degree. (I worked as an assistant to Chair for 2 years).





I plan to back to my home country. There are many opening positions there. They really want someone who is majoring in the fields and study aboard like me. My problem is I am very ego. I will only take management positions. I know it is wrong.





Please help. Any words of wisdom. Thank you very much.





Sorry, english is my second language.Words of wisdom? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
You are an incredible young woman hope along with a whole geneartion of others who may be achievers like yourself. I personally side with those who say let level management leaders see how your school smarts allows you to transfer those skills to organization assests and make it better and efficient.





Start low. Always express interest in advancement. But don't put it like that. Instead say you are always willing to view new challenges as new learning experiences inside the organization. IN due course if you are as good as you said you are here in this post, then others wil l definitely see it wherever you are hired.





In fact if you repeat tihs process many times over say the next few years then over time in 5 years say you will have a track record that other organizations will fight for to have you work for them. Of course you could negotiate whatever salary you want to at that point.





But just as life shows, every living thing starts as a seed. It is true in everything we do in life as well. We start small. We do that because we are learning and becoming more intelligent in what we do. So that we can be more effective and productive in life.





Right now your ego only sees yourself larger than any company that will hire you. Place your ego aside. Look instead at the ogranization you want to work for. When you are hired others will learn about yours skills and see you as a valuable asset. That is what your ego should look like. Not what you see about yoursef. But what other leadrs see abot you.





Your only truly as big as the way others see you.





Later and good luck to you in the future. By the way your English is fine.Words of wisdom? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
Follow your desires and your heart... but also do what is in your best interest to advance. No offense... 22 is young and every employer conciders (to some degree) the level of mature experience one might have for a particular position. Take the assistant position then show the upper level management (with your accomplishments and diplomacy) how much more valueable you would be to the company if you were working at a higher level. They will promote you.
At this time, you should seek not for the amitious desires of your heart, but rather you should seek out those who can, and will, help you attain them.





When you go to interviews, you should be interviewing the person who's interviewing you! You need to be asking yourself, ';Do I think I can work with this person?'; Is this someone who can help me attain my goals, eventually?';





That is the best for you now.
A Master's degree does not give you a ticket to a management position unless you own the company. The many interviews without getting a single job offer speaks clearly about what the workplace needs. Ego gets you nowhere. Only track record would show our real worth. The sooner you accept this reality the better for you. Remember the saying ';the proud will be humbled and the humble will be lifted up.'; Good luck.
Quite simply, you haven't earned a management position.





As you appear to be goal oriented, determine what characteristics you need for a management position (probably including experience), and pursue it. (If you were ready for management, you would know that a goal, and a plan to reach that goal, are essential to success)
Good question ';grasshopper';. You are at an age of observation, of introspection. Watch, learn.., and later you'll be asked to put it all together. Learn patients. To know that you are waiting, can be of help. To push a wine before its time is asking for less than expected.
Once you get a job in your field becoming a manager is a matter of time. The more responsible you are the faster you will be promoted. Start low and aim high.
There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.
HUMBLE YOUR SELF
seize the day your heart is telling you something listen to it
You are 22. Sure, you have credentials, but I being fresh out of school, I can't imagine you would have many real-world management skills. What they teach you in school is a whole lot different than what you will encounter in real life. It's good to be ambitious, but you are being a bit unrealistic. You have a lot more to prove than a 45 year old that's been in the business for 20+ years. Take an entry level position, and if you are found to be a worthy employee and a hard worker, you will likely be promoted. And if you're not? At least you'll have job experience and something to put on your resume, thus increasing your chances of a management position with another potential employer. Swallow your pride a little bit, otherwise you may very well be unemployed for a long time.
In your country and perhaps in your family, having a Master's


Degree may mean a lot more than it does here. It's a great


achievement, but only shows potential employers that you


have tenacity and intellegence..but not necessarily the long,practical experience in their fields to excel. Everyone


starts out at the relative bottom here, master's degrees or not. If you're so confident in your abilities, you must give other


people the opportunity to see this, they're not mind readers. Advancement can be rapid, even mecurial if you're truly


brilliant in their field. If they give you a chance, you should


give them one to ... to see what you can do. Look at it as


a great challenge..how far can you advance in the shortest


amount of time. Otherwise, this is the country of opportunity...


make one for yourself by starting your own business, school,


or any other innovative idea relating to your specific field so you won't ever have to work


for anyone but yourself. I always advise people to think about


being the captian of their own ship instead of a crew member.
For someone your age I would suggest the source of wisdom The Urantia Book. I'm sure it is in your native laguage.





P.555 - 搂5 You will learn that you increase your burdens and decrease the likelihood of success by taking yourself too seriously. Nothing can take precedence over the work of your status sphere--this world or the next. Very important is the work of preparation for the next higher sphere, but nothing equals the importance of the work of the world in which you are actually living. But though the work is important, the self is not. When you feel important, you lose energy to the wear and tear of ego dignity so that there is little energy left to do the work. Self-importance, not work-importance, exhausts immature creatures; it is the self element that exhausts, not the effort to achieve. You can do important work if you do not become self-important; you can do several things as easily as one if you leave yourself out. Variety is restful; monotony is what wears and exhausts. Day after day is alike--just life or the alternative of death.
