🚀 Career Advice:
We asked the Cultivate community to share their best career advice, and these were the perfect antidote the turbulent times we're in:
"Don't be afraid to ask. Ask if an organization is hiring for your skillset. Ask a mentor (or potential mentor) for coffee. Ask your supervisor for help. Ask for a raise."- Scott Urbanowski"
My best advice is to put yourself out there, try new things, even when you’re not good at them yet, and ask for more. Pitch that conference talk, ask for a raise, start your side gig, whatever. You'll unlock so many opportunities and grow so much."- Amanda Stockwell"
Don't be afraid to try new things and take on new challenges where you feel out of your depth. These experiences force us use creativity and critical thinking, and you will absolutely learn something. Even better, you'll have a great story to share!"- Gillian Lawrence
