Pegah Salari, member of Alumni Council and Chair of the Career Services Committee, shares lessons she's learned about networking, notably about the importance of not tying your entire network and identity to your current job. She also discusses her career in sales, what she loves about it, what surprised her, the importance of mentorship (even if a mentor disappoints you) and trusting your gut.

WTJ is sponsored by TD Insurance.
