How to Get Hired as a First-Generation Professional


Listen Later

The world of work can be a bit of a mystery — especially when you are the first member of your family to enter the professional world. Sometimes it can feel like you don't have all the puzzle pieces to get the full picture of how the workplace operates.

Gorick Ng, a bestselling author of "The Unspoken Rules: Secrets to Starting Your Career Off Right" and a career advisor at Harvard, joins LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman to shine a light on the unique challenges first-generation professionals face in launching their careers. Gorick has dedicated a significant portion of his own career to understanding these challenges, and to helping those entering the workforce from diverse backgrounds find success. Through his work, he aims to equip everyone with the knowledge and tools needed to successfully navigate a career.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who feels like they're venturing into uncharted territory in their professional life, and anyone interested in understanding the diverse challenges faced by people entering the workforce.
