The Career Playbook

James M. Citrin

Building a successful career doesn't necessitate graduating from an Ivy League school. By adhering to fundamental principles, making wise decisions, working diligently, and forming meaningful connections, success will be yours. The key lies in dedication, clear presentation of your skills and experiences, and always making a favorable first impression - not just during interviews. Value your professional connections. When introduced to a new contact, make it a priority to promptly follow up and express gratitude through email. There's no need to worry about coming across as too assertive – remember, this isn't a romantic relationship! Even if the executive takes some time to reply, they will likely still appreciate your promptness in getting back to them.
