Advice on Advice: Take It or Leave It
There’s a tonne of advice out there for juniors wanting to break into the industry — books, blogs, and people wanting to give you their two cents. But advice comes from experience, and experiences are personal. Which means there’s a lot of conflicting advice out there. In a regular column Lauren Ami MacDonald tries to make sense of it all.
I’m moving back to Australia, so this will be my last column for CB Asia. My advice on advice is to take everything with a pinch of salt. Listen to it, sure, but question its relevancy to you and your situation – you can choose to take it or leave it – no one knows you better than you do.
See you round like a rissole.
