You don’t need experience
You don’t need experience
Experience gives you two things:
- It exposes you to a broader spectrum of scenarios
- It reduces the need to think too much as your work tasks, though complex, become second nature to you
You could offset both these advantages that experience gives you by:
- Applying your mind, asking questions, reading and working hard
- Paying attention to detail
On the flip side, experience can make someone over confident and close minded as most people tend to dip into what they have been through as their default knowledge repository and stop there.
No experience means you get to start with a clean slate; there are no pre-conceived ideas.
All this is under the assumption, of course, that you are committed to succeeding. It assumes that you are willing to do what it takes to get results.
There are no shortcuts to excellence. Experience is great as long as you have not made it a liability for yourself!
