Does you license tell you that you know it all?

Being a neophyte is not an excuse when you commit an error. Yes, you got your license but still you need to seek help from your co-workers ahead of you on anything that you doubted. Be observant and humbly accept corrections because it is by this that you learn and succeed.
For me, it would never be a convenient excuse to reason out that you're a newbie once you committed an error. Why not ask if you have doubts? Do you want to put risk on your license? Think it over and over again before you jump into a conclusion with uncertainties in your mind.
I do believe that learning is a process and you can never go wrong if you prepared yourself to fall and accept criticism positively.
What can you suggest? Any point of view?

Hi Koalznoyly, welcome to myLot.
I am not sure what you are trying to convey here. May be I am slow. Care to explain for me?
Though I would just like to say that it is certainly true in myLot. There are lots of newbies committing violations of guidelines because they don't bother to read them.

Hi Koalznowly! Welcome to Mylot!
I am professional license holder. But to me it is not something I have to really brag about. To me it just says that I have the general knowledge about my chosen field. Basically half of what I learned in school was throwed out of the window when I passed the board.
I know it can be an advantage when you look for a job, as most employers look for board passers. But passing the board is just the start. What is important is the work experience you get over the years.
Sometimes, not all you where taught at school is being done in real life.
I have fresh grad colleagues who were probably looking for some balance sheets at work. But unfortunately, we hardly work on papers anymore. Everything is auto-mated already specially in big companies.
I think having a license does not guarantee you career success. It takes hard work and a lot of experience to really be successful.
