What everyone needs to know in the first decade of their career (but nobody teaches you)
There are a million things to learn in the first decade of your career, but no official guidebook for learning them. Maybe you luck out and get a great manager -- but more likely, you're stuck learning on your own.
Join us for a fast-paced, 1-hour event where executives from Western Union, Penguin Random House, and Section will share their "lessons learned" from the first 10 years of your career, and equip you with behind-the-scenes insights to accelerate your own progress.
We'll discuss:
- The "unwritten rules of business" that everyone expects you to follow, but no one teaches
- Big mistakes + big lessons learned from the first 10 years
- The skills that every high-performing 30 year old should master now
