9 Q’s To Confidently Decide Your Career Path
It’s paradoxical that hopelessness can be fueled by passion, but it’s true. Intensity without direction is overwhelmingly disheartening.
The hardest part is believing what you can’t yet see. But you can reconcile what you don’t know, taking the first step forward, by asking better questions.
#1 Is This An Inside Job?
To minimize the torture of unmet expectations, investigate the job in real-time.

The person worthy of your trust is you, and the person worthy of your questions is someone who has nothing to gain from your decision.
