The professional access they say is one of the best ways you can grow your career. What we mean by access is the ways in which you position yourself in order to get work and career opportunities.

In the course of our work at Lingo Africa, we have been able to interact with all kinds of people across different sectors and orientations. One thing that stands out is that many people unknowingly sabotage their careers with the actions they take with their daily decisions.

In more clear terms, there are so many people out there that could have been able to achieve their dreams if they had not taken certain actions which have resulted in them being stagnant or being unable to achieve a lot in their professional life.

Take, for instance, you are working in a nine to five routine job and you have the desire to improve your career chances. Yet, you refuse to engage with people you do not know and have never met. This can lead to lost chances when it comes to improving your career or breaking new frontiers.

By now, you should know that new experiences and new opportunities do not always come from familiar faces or family members. Why then do you close yourself to the possibilities of meeting and engaging people who can give your career a boost through new jobs and growth opportunities.

You never really know what lurks behind a strange hello from an unknown number on Whatsapp or a friendly wave at a conference or good morning from one of your usually silent LinkedIn connections. It has become a habit of many job seekers and professionals to shun messages from strange people especially on social media.

This habit does not only limits your chances of upgrading your career but it also denies you the opportunity of meeting more people, who could very well contribute to your overall success in life. We have advised several of our clients to do the opposite – take all your phone calls, reply to all your messages, respond properly to people you meet at work events like conferences, seminars, and workshops.

The more you do this, the more you increase your chances of improving your career. Yes, there may be times when doing all these will lead to conversations that shouldn’t happen like talking to potential fraudsters and scammers, but, as you engage more, you should also be cautious and wise.

Let us put it this way if you haven’t reached the peak of your career, taking all your calls and replying to all your messages is a small price to pay for your career success!
