It’s the time of year where college graduates are starting to look for jobs. I get a fair number of requests for advice on how to best interview, polish one’s resume, etc. How does one get started in this career? It seems like this is just a problem for new graduates, but it’s not: everyone has the problem of “how do I get started on the next phase?” Do you want to manage? Well, how does that start? Who do you have to ask permission from? How about a particular kind of problem you want to work on? Change fields or focus areas? Get yourself into a better network? Add responsibilities and grow in your role? These are all variants of “how do I get started?”
