The biggest edge you can get in your career comes from the people in your network. Especially those you seek out as mentors. Listen in on the conversation I had with the leaders of two mentorship programs to hear how to hook yourself up with the guidance you need to bend the curve on yoru career trajectory.
- Network before you need it. Networking is essential to growing your career. It's how people learn about you, your interests and capabilities, so plant those seeds starting now.
- You should have several mentors at a time. It doesn't have to be a formal relationship, seek out a regular touchpoint with someone further up the career ladder than you.
- Don't underestimate the value that your near peers can provide. Just a 5-10 years ahead in their own career journey, they have recent and relevant insights that career aces may not.
- Get involved in professional organizations to build your own leadership skills.
