title:{real world advice.}

Twenty-somethings who are trying to figure out how to succeed in the "real world" could learn a great deal from an article published on The Wall Street Journal's executive career site, CareerJournal.com. The piece, which also is a worthwhile read for leaders who are mentoring younger team members, lists 10 tips about effective workplace conduct. Here are a few:

1. Shut up and listen. This is how the article's author, Karen Woodward, says she learned the most important lessons in her previous career as a film-industry assistant.

2. Admit your mistakes. "Covering for them rarely works," Woodward writes. "Just say, 'I screwed up,' don't make excuses, and take steps to fix it."

3. Don't think too highly of yourself. "I can't tell you how annoying 20-somethings (men and women) are who, because they are young and cute and went to a good college, think that they are smarter than anyone else," Woodward says.

4. Choose the right clothes. This doesn't mean young professionals need to look stuffy or overly conservative. "But please remember that you are not in college, and you are not at a bar," she adds.

5. Connect with your peers. "These are the people you will be moving up the ladder with, and it's best to have them on your side to begin with," Woodward writes. "I've seen the people who ... went out of their way to hang out with the upper-level management, and they have all gone nowhere."
