You never really know what a job is like until you actually get in the weeds and do it yourself.

BUT, it’s still helpful to do as much research as possible before you jump into a career.

A career expert named Rachel told TikTok viewers three things that nobody told her about working in Corporate America.

Rachel told viewers, “Here are three things that nobody taught me about being in Corporate America.”

She then said, “Your work does not speak for itself. You speak for yourself.”

Rachel continued, “Confidence equals competence. If you don’t have one, most people will assume you don’t have the other.”

She added, “Your long-term impact, results, and career are dependent on the strength of your network.”

Viewers shared their thoughts.
