When you’re just starting out in your career, you can face quite a bit of pressure. As a young professional, you want to be great at everything and you’re eager to capture that awesome dream of totally making it.
On the flip side of that, you can also be very hard on yourself when things don’t pan out exactly as planned—or worse—you totally fail at what you thought was a sure thing.
If you’ve reached that rough patch in your career come-up, here are a few tips from Ken Sundheim, CEO of KAS Placement Recruitment, that can not only help you get over the hump, but surpass your wildest dreams of success:
