A Simple Career Development Method You can Use to Reach Your Targets Faster
The best time to launch your goal is now.
And if you're an undergrad, launching your career when you're a student gives you great advantages.
Don't fall for the poor idea to cruise only when in school then start hustle after graduation.
Launch your career when you're in college.
Consider an undergraduate internship or industrial attachment.
You need it whether full time or part time. That should do. But not participating in any may not be a smart choice.
I got in touch with a smart dude I met online. He's such a smart high-flyer and his impressive method can be replicated by anyone at all.

After his OND, he joined a bank as an IT (on contract placement). The pay was almost nothing. But hey, it wasn't about the pay. It was about the experience, exposure and connections
He retained the job and didn't resign when it was time to return back to school to complete his studies.
He instead managed both studies and work.
With the small money coming in every month, he enrolled for ICAN.
Five years later, he has ICAN, ACCA, HND, plus five years work experience, in which he had participated in board and management meetings, including being good at writing reports for his boss.
Think about it. A fresh graduate with five years job experience and great connections. That dude is smart
Then he announced his resignation. The bank asked him to stay, offered a permanent role and higher pay.
He declined and accepted job in another company with great pay and exciting team.
Reason: He said "...if I'd accepted the new role and the higher pay, it would have taken a long time to get promotions and pay increases that I needed in that bank... Leaving was better"
Last year 2020, he became an MBA scholar at Harvard Business School
