Your Boss Won’t Hand You A Syllabus, Sorry
Manage episode 514897543 series 2943317
We explore why grades and right answers don’t translate cleanly into the workplace and how to build the habits that employers actually value. We share stories from our first jobs, talk about generational friction, and offer practical ways to create structure, seek feedback, and grow.
• shifting from answer seeking to critical thinking
• valuing transferable skills from non‑job experiences
• navigating ambiguity without a syllabus
• generational differences in workplace expectations
• building feedback tolerance and resilience
• career readiness starting earlier than college
• creating your own onboarding and structure
• using mentors and community for support
• embracing experimentation over perfection
• mindset shifts for confidence and growth
