Once you’ve found a career path that you are interested in, the last thing you want to do is to mess it up. And “messing it up” could be a number of things, from giving a bad impression to current or potential employers, to having a confusing employment history. The important thing to know, though, is that messing up here and there is OKAY. Because when it comes making smart career choices, it’s not about being perfect, but about setting yourself up for long term success.
