????MPW內部網絡是一個邀請具有影響力的商界女性及時解答職業與領導力問題的在線社區。今天，我們的問題是：千禧一代進入職場前應采納的建議是什么？以下是百事可樂高級銷售副總裁特里施?盧卡西克的回答。

????從小在日益全球化的世界接受技術教育的千禧一代，將懷著一種特殊的熱情踏入職場。很有意思。我覺得，和年輕的我相比，他們沒有太大不同。但是，我真的很希望有人在我20歲出頭的時候能給我一條建議：你的學習之旅才剛剛開始。

????你的首份工作或許不夠光鮮亮麗，而且你也會驚訝于你的工作與大學所學專業關系甚微，但請注意：你將在這里開始最集中的學習。你的前幾份工作將構筑知識和經驗的基礎，而這將給你今后的職業生涯帶來極大的影響。對于高等計量經濟學課程，我記得不太清楚，但是由于前幾份工作的要求，我永遠不會忘記如何計算利潤和仔細考慮基本的供需影響。

????或許，你的工作與你的“五年職業規劃”毫無關系。你要接受這份工作。如果你喜歡它，你可以找到新的路徑。如果不喜歡，你仍然可以學到許多有用的知識。

????你可能會犯錯誤。我希望你犯錯誤，因為從錯誤中你才能得到更大的收獲！相對于未來你將擔任的更加重要的職位，初次踏入職場時的工作失誤所帶來的后果要輕微得多。所以你要勇敢無畏，承擔風險，允許自己出現小的失敗。

????最后，要記得你的職業掌握在自己手中。不要聽信任何人，去尋找所謂的成功捷徑，因為在這個世界上，要想取得成功，根本沒有捷徑可走。你要追求自己的激情和夢想，并選擇適合自己的道路。（財富中文網）

????MPW Insider is an online community where the biggest names in business and beyond answer timely career and leadership questions. Today’s answer for: What is one piece of advice all millennials should take before entering the workforce? is written by Trish Lukasik, Senior Vice President of Sales at PepsiCo.

????Raised on technology in an ever-increasing globalized world, millennials are entering the workplace with a special kind of zeal. I love it. And I don’t see them as very different than the younger me. But, there is one piece of advice I wish someone would have told me at their age: your learning has just begun.

????Your first job may not be glamorous, and you may be surprised how little it has to do with what you learned in college, but pay attention – you will do your most intense learning here. Your first few positions will help create a foundation of knowledge and experience that will significantly influence the rest of your career. I can’t remember much from my advanced econometrics class, but I will never forget how to calculate profit and think through basic supply and demand impacts, thanks to the requirements of my first few jobs.

????You may even be asked to do a job that isn’t in line with your “5-year plan.“ Take the job. If you love it, you may find a new path to follow. If you don’t, you can still take away plenty of useful knowledge.

????You may stumble. And I hope you do, because even greater learning will come from your mistakes! When you first enter the workforce, you typically take on positions where the consequences of your errors are less severe than later in your career. So be bold, take risks and allow yourself to fail a bit.

????Finally, remember that your career is in your hands. Don’t let anyone tell you that you must follow a linear path to success, because that doesn’t really exist anymore. Pursue your unique passions and dreams and make your own path.
