Being responsible for your own career means that if things go wrong, you look first to understand and correct your own errors rather than looking to blame others or outside circumstances.

Ask yourself the following questions: “Do I always take personal responsibility, especially when things do not go well?” or “Do I tend to blame others first or the extenuating circumstances when things do not go well?” Being responsible means that you have to take the bad with the good. You can learn from your mistakes and celebrate your successes.
