article<\/a>, featuring CEO\u00a0Felipe Venetiglio, a few\u00a0career lessons can be learned from playing the infamous Flappy Bird.\u00a0Let\u2019s explore\u2026<\/p>\n1.)\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Aim HIGH but not too high<\/span>: “<\/b>Ambition is great and should always motivate you. But your career choices should be smart and planned or else you might bump your head and need to restart all over again.” In other words, if you \u00a0are aiming to be CEO of Microsoft directly after your time on the Hill, just know it is not that easy. Think smart and plan for careers you can honestly see yourself learning and benefiting from. You’ll work toward that CEO position in no time!<\/p>\n2.)\u00a0\u00a0Don’t be afraid of taking risk<\/b>:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0Sure, some obstacles will seem too difficult- but playing it safe will not help you either.\u00a0 If you are doubting a job choice, come in for\u00a0Drop-In’s @Career Planning Center<\/b>\u00a0#Hogan203 from\u00a01:00-4:00pm<\/b>\u00a0or Tweet us\u00a0@CrusaderCareers \/\u00a0@HCSIP<\/b><\/p>\n3.)\u00a0You might FAIL…then FAIL AGAIN\u00a0<\/b><\/span>: In\u00a0Flappy Bird<\/i>, you are haunted by that little buzzing sound of failure every time you bump into something. No matter how many times you hear that sound, you can not give up! “If careers had high scores you wouldn’t get yours on the 1st, \u00a02nd or 3rd try. Remember to be cool, keep your calm, you’ll get there! Everyone gets stuck at some point but it is continued effort that gets you further!”<\/p>\n4.)\u00a0Remain Open<\/span><\/b>:\u00a0Success does not solely hinge on delegating tasks and having your opinion heard, it also depends on listening. Thriving leaders share the ability to hear others\u2019 opinions and remain open to changing their ideas. You may think you\u2019re about to nail the new high score then fall short. The same is true for the internship\/job search. Remember to remain open and interested in all opportunities you are presented with\u2026 you never know which might land you the job of your dreams!<\/p>\n5.)\u00a0Make sure you like it<\/b>:<\/span> You should want a healthy relationship with your job\/ internship. Try not to endure something for its name or position. If you\u2019re in a new internship and dreading the work that you\u2019re doing, let it be a learning experience. You wouldn’t want to apply yourself to a future career that might not be for you.<\/p>\n\u2026So the take away message?<\/b><\/h2>\n
