I was thinking about advice I have gotten about work over the years and what the best was.
For me, it was: "Your network is your net worth." It's not about using people, but about building genuine relationships that create opportunities you never would have found alone.

What's the single most impactful piece of career advice you've ever gotten?

This is 100% the best advice I’ve received as well. Most of the roles I’ve landed were due to having a good network. Other people have also benefited from their relationship with me, as I’ve had a couple of opportunities to pull people into my previous roles by either hand selecting them or making strong recommendations as I moved up the ladder.

Internship Program Help: Hi Everyone! I’ve never worked for a company with any type of internship program at all, let alone a really successful one. My new company thrives off our internship program, with many of our managers/directors having started as one themselves. I’d like to create more of a structure to this program but not even really sure where to begin. Also don’t want to bite off more than I can chew, but would love to hear some tips or even better, maybe have a quick chat if willing?
