Just because you've spent years of effort and hundreds of thousands of dollars on your education doesn't mean you are prepared for your big career.  Crazy, but true.  The world of work is different in many ways from school; just because you've been successful in one doesn't mean you'll hit the ground running in the other.  So, what can you do?  Today we're joined by Niki Khoshzamir, the CEO of PracticePro, a social enterprise that helps new grads set themselves up for success in their new careers.  We talk about the unwritten rules of career success, why your most important relationship is your relationship with yourself, the challenges and rewards of being first generation, how to talk up potential mentors, and why looking for sponsors might be a distraction.   Born and raised in Iran, educated in Vienna and the U.S., and a successful lawyer-turned-entrepreneur, Niki is fascinating person in her own right and has some great tips for cultivating resilience.  Check it out!
