In today's episode I talk with Mike Dwyer about simple steps to find work and grow your career right now. We share an easy plan you can do in five hours or five days or five weeks to build momentum and take more shots on goal. We show how to make a small personal board of three or four people who will give you honest feedback and help you try new things. We also talk about durable skills like telling a clear story and using basic tools, plus ways to explore paid paths like Salesforce training and platforms such as LinkedIn and Upwork.
