Is there such a thing as being too prepared? I hope not. In effort to continue to help you prepare for what’s to come next in your life professionally, I thought it would be ideal to share with you this very timeless throwback with Chandria Harris. In this session, we touched on strategies to help first-generation college graduates to be successful in corporate America. Many of the things that we talk about are some of the unspoken rules of being a professional. After all, there is always a “code,” and if you don’t know better you simply can’t do better.
