1️⃣ Trying to act like you already know everything
Ask questions. No one expects you to be perfect — but they do expect you to learn.
2️⃣ Turning up unprepared
Wrong tools, late starts, poor attitude. First impressions matter more than you think.
3️⃣ Not listening properly
You’ll be shown things once. Pay attention. Write it down if you need to.
4️⃣ Rushing jobs
Speed comes later. Focus on doing it right, not doing it fast.
5️⃣ Being glued to your phone
Checking messages can wait. People notice effort.
6️⃣ Not taking exams seriously
Revisions and prep matter. These results follow you for years.
7️⃣ Thinking mistakes mean failure
Mistakes are part of the trade. Learn from them and move on.
