Have you ever heard, “You need experience to get experience?”
Starting your career is hard. The opportunities that help you break into a field — job shadowing, internships, apprenticeships — are limited, competitive, or never posted at all. If you don’t get into one of those rare roles, it can feel impossible to build the skills and relationships you need to grow.
Most opportunities start with a conversation — not the “Easy Apply” button
The real world runs on relationships. The ability to introduce yourself, ask good questions, follow up, and show initiative is what opens doors — in your first job and in every role after that. These skills matter more than a perfect résumé. And the great news? Anyone can learn them
