Today I have an article that important points I want to keep in mind.
Quote from the article:
"If you’re trying to transition from academia into business, the first decision you need to make is the decision to improve your oral communication skills. The best way to do this is to start interacting with people in person.
Next, you need to decide to start taking action on your own. Show initiative by going to networking events and conferences to find job leads, instead of sitting behind a computer and sending out a resume. Start building up your online platform. Start commenting on LinkedIn threads related to your field. Start your own group. Just start.
Finally, decide to think about things in a different way. Make sure you’re choosing to focus on the right problems. Don’t get stuck putting out fires and don’t get pushed around by other people’s agendas. Zoom out mentally and identify the right problem for why you are where you are. Then, find a way to get to wherever it is you really want to go. Your choices will determine your path."
