Early in your career, say yes to everything. It doesn't even mater whether you work in an office or at a fast food restaurant. Just say yes to absolutely everything.
Grocery stores let you try samples of new foods. Big games release demos you can play for free. Online courses let you watch the first lectures for free. See a pattern here?
The biggest fear of job seekers is that they won't find a job. The biggest fear of currently employed people is that their job will be automated away. Funny enough, the cure for both of these is the same: be more human.
Would you rather have a hundred flip phones or one smart phone?

Let's get real for a minute. If you're like most people here, you're not actually job hunting. you're just thinking about job hunting. We get it, it's fun. After all, you can be whatever you want to be in your imagination...
I was on a call with a young lady this week to see if I could help her out on her job hunt. For each application she sent, she had written a great, personalized cover letter. Yet she never heard back. What gives?
Letting your imagination run freely to envision the future of your dreams, it's easy to get scared off by all the things that could go wrong. But what if I told you there is a way to let fear work for you, instead of against you?
