Best advice
“The first day of my first full-time job in the industry, I was assigned to do scanning for the office, which was not what I had expected. Be patient, take the time to learn, volunteer to take on projects that will allow you to gain more technical experience and align yourself with successful professionals to begin building your network in this relationship-based industry.”
