From Unemployed Subscriber to Director in 3 Years (Ray Ojel) - KNN Ep. 164
Description
Today I had the pleasure of bringing back Ray Ojel to the podcast. He was an early subscriber who landed his first job the last time I talked to him. Now he has reached the director level in just 3 years. In this episode we talk about how he was able to progress so quickly, how he made himself irreplaceable to his company, and he also gives his best advice for juniors to make real impact on the job.
