In these litigious times, if you're a beginner, it's becoming harder and harder to get your work to the people who might actually be able to hire you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Don't be afraid to take time to learn. It's good to work for other people. I worked for others for 20 years. They paid me to learn.
When I first started, I was kind of surprised that anyone would ever hire me at all. So I took everything that I was offered.
In the early days, start-ups make the main mistake of hiring people to do the work that they could do themselves.
I'm still a novice student.
When you first start out, you are just happy to get a job, any job. And as time goes on, either you move forward or screech to a halt.
You can learn new things at any time in your life if you're willing to be a beginner. If you actually learn to like being a beginner, the whole world opens up to you.
I consistently run into young adults who have quickly turned away from traditional jobs at great companies to try their hand at a start-up. I believe that some of this stems from the desire to strike it big like Mark Zuckerberg, but I also believe it is because starting a company has become far cooler than working in one.
I'm always tryin' to do something new, tryin' to look like a beginner.
For a startup to overcome obstacles and succeed, it must foster limitless thinking. By hiring students into their first career job, you get to set their framework for how a company functions and instill them with your values for your company's culture.
I started getting jobs, and I thought it was going to be real easy.
