YFYI Your First Year In

By Sonny D

The first 12-18 months of a career is when statistically the biggest amount of attrition occurs. Why do so many people not hit the levels of success that they set out to? When I graduated I was scared by this statistic and I've now decided to do something about it. This podcast will discuss topics such as interviewing, knowing the important numbers, increasing your income, how to set goals and hit them plus a whole lot more!
