Guidance to freshers in project management

Fantastic initiative! Seeking wisdom from experienced professionals can make a huge difference in a fresher's project management journey. I'm eager to hear the advice and insights from this community, which will surely help shape the next generation of project managers! For instance, I recall a project manager who started their career by volunteering to lead a small project at work, which helped them build confidence and develop essential skills

Question - What's one piece of advice you wish you had received when you started your project management career?

One thing I always recommend to those new to the profession is to find at least one seasoned mentor who can help you achieve near and mid-term objectives. Ideally this mentor would not work in your company but would be from your industry and is located within your region so that they are well aware of "how things work" in your context.
