I would say do not be too hard on yourself.
Accept that you will make mistakes
throughout your career; use every misstep
as a learning opportunity and squeeze out
as much learning as you can by talking it
over with people you trust and admire and
whom you know will be brutally honest
with you. Each misstep – used well – will
bring you one step closer to wisdom.

Figure out if there's a professional
association devoted to your field (like
ILTA) and get involved right away. The
best way to learn and advance is by
connecting with your peers!

Don't worry so much. In hindsight, I
wasted a lot of ener (and a tossed in a
good dose of self-sabotage) in worrying
about not knowing enough, not having a
master plan, not being polished enough.
A career takes work and time but being
open to possibilities will hone what really
speaks to you.
