The Learning Curve: How I'm Building Confidence in Professional Settings as a College Student

July 10, 2025

Written by: Julianna Martorilli As a nearly graduated college student entering the professional world for the first time, it has been much more intimidating than I anticipated. The job search for an entry level role can be overwhelming; interviews, resumes, LinkedIn connections, cold emails, and coffee chats. I look around and everyone seems to have it all figured out, but how? Do they all know something I don’t? I struggled with this for a while, and something I’ve learned is that every confident business owner, friend, and coworker was once unsure, inexperienced, and intimidated, just like I am. To build a foundation for confidence in the professional world, I had to reframe my inexperience as an opportunity to learn. This mindset shift, focusing on my professional goals, and asking questions has helped me make the most out of my first internship experience here at Pyramid Consulting Group thus far. Creating professional goals for myself is something I attribute largely to building confidence. Before starting my internship, I wrote down goals of things I wanted to accomplish or improve at, and some actionable steps I could take to do so. Being able to track my progress has helped a lot with my confidence. By setting and actively working toward my professional goals, I have been able to see proof of my growth. This proof has allowed me to begin building my confidence professionally by showing myself that I can consistently progress and accomplish tasks. Here are a few examples of attainable professional goals: Get out of your comfort zone . This month, I will place myself in a situation that is unfamiliar to me and challenges me (a networking event, speaking up in a meeting, reaching out to someone new, engaging in a new project, etc.) Introduce yourself. I will reach out to someone new in my organization or in my desired field to expand my network and practice building new connections. Be curious. In a meeting this week, I will speak up and ask a question that adds to the conversation to learn something new. A final important thing I’ve learned about building confidence in the professional world is to ask questions. I used to worry that asking questions would be perceived as a weakness or made me seem unfit for the job, but that is not the case. Being able to engage with my curiosity shows my interest, engagement, and desire to learn. Asking questions and being open to receiving help has enhanced my learning, allowed me to create connections, encouraged my growth, and overall has helped me build professional confidence. No one expects you to know everything; your coworkers, supervisors, and managers are there to support you. We gain confidence through knowledge, and a great way to obtain knowledge is through engaging and asking questions. If you feel lost, intimidated, or unsure entering the professional world for the first time or starting a new role, just remember that it’s okay to not have it all figured out. What has helped me is focusing on learning, setting goals, tracking my progress, and asking questions as they come up. Confidence is something you build over time and just know, if you’re trying, you’re learning – and if you’re learning, you’re growing!
