#7 - How to Stand Out In Your Career with Benjamin Birnbaum
Manage episode 407333109 series 3561631
This week on Guyset: Ben Birnbaum (co-founder of two businesses Terawatt and Keyframe) talks about the importance of having a differentiated perspective in order to stand out in networking and in your job, his first position, not knowing what you want to do out of college, and his advice for getting started. He mentions that it took him seven months of bad business plans with his cofounders before they found success.
Even if you aren’t interested in what he does particularly, which I’ll admit is way out of my league, stay for his career advice, it’s really solid. We talk about when to know it’s time to leave a job, the importance of writing things down, goal setting, and so much more. His advice is tangible and accessible to anyone at any level.
