Some advice for people in their early 20s
If you are looking for a job:
Tell the recruiter that the required skill can be developed on the job, send a signal that you are learning agile
If they ask for experience, sell your potential
If you want to enter the gig economy:
learn some basics about negotiating and influencing
Because experienced people will hard-ball you to compromise
Have faith in your skills, trust yourself
If you want a change:
Understand the difference between a job and a career
Understand that you want a career and not a job
I am an engineer and MBA in operations. Things I do for a living are light years away from engineering and operations
Don’t carry the baggage of your degrees, if you are learning agile you can be whatever you want to be
If you want to be happy:
Read, travel, exercise, and forgive, be kind to yourself, forget, move on, sleep, reflect, and learn to relax.
