text: At some point in your life you have probably applied for a job. Whether it's something small, like your pools' snack bar, or something big, like a job on Wallstreet. More than likely, you will ask someone who has been in your shoes in the past for advice, but why limit yourself to one person? If you glue yourself to one person you are gluing yourself to their path and what they did, you are not an exact copy of them. Sure, it's nice to hear from someone who has accomplished what you want to, but if you expand your options and ask lots of people who have been in your shoes, you are allowing your brain to hear multiple ways of achieving the same task so that you can find the best possible outcome for you, not them.
