Crafting a Path to Success: Navigating Your Career with a Personal Board of Advisors

LinkedIn doesn't always have to be about self-promotion.

How are you leveraging your influence to promote others?

Today I share my friend Pete Schramm 's new book with you discussing how to navigate your career by surrounding yourself with mentors, mentees, and others so you can truly grow in your career.

A New Voyage in Your Career Journey!

In our ever-evolving landscape of career development, staying ahead is key. That's where the concept of a Personal Board of Advisors (PBA) perfectly aligns with the mission of the Jobseeker Journal. We're thrilled to introduce this transformative approach, blending it with our core messaging of jobseeker tips, job alerts, and networking strategies to elevate your career to new heights.

This is a collaborative article with my friend and (nearly) bestselling author, Pete Schramm. If this methodology resonates with you, it may be worthwhile to check out his newly released book, Pathfinders. You may recall Pete and the mention of this book from our collaborative fireside chats a few months ago!
