Wall of advice

"Don’t be intimidated by junior-level job advertisements that ask for a lot of experience. Job advertisements typically describe their unicorn, but unicorns don’t exist so usually the Shetland pony with the go-getter attitude gets the job."

“People don’t leave jobs, they leave people. Never let one person stop you from getting your dream job. Learn to love your voice and understand your personal boundaries. Ask tough questions and always be willing to learn.”
