Navigating your career after graduation can be overwhelming, but with the right approach, you can set yourself up for success. Here are 5 valuable tips to guide you on your career journey.

1. Set clear goals

A good way to establish new goals is to make them SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely. This approach will help you stay focused and give you a sense of accomplishment along the way.

2. Stay informed about open positions

Check out current openings on the Publix careers website. Remember to log in as an associate to see all open positions. Also, look for recruitment and career events in your area or store.

• Publix Associate Career Fairs help associates explore job opportunities.
• Sharing Opportunities Advice and Recognition events engage associates who are high school graduates.

3. Keep learning and growing

Earning your degree is just the beginning. By learning different roles and responsibilities in our stores, corporate offices, manufacturing facilities or distribution centers, you can broaden your skill set and open up new opportunities for career advancement.

4. Seek mentorship

Find mentors who can offer guidance, support and insight to help you grow your career. A mentor can give you valuable advice on how to navigate challenges and make sound decisions.

5. Ask for feedback

Don’t be afraid to ask for feedback from your leaders or peers. Constructive criticism can help you constantly improve and achieve your goals.
