It’s graduation season and those that are graduating might be struggling to find their way. It’s tough to set yourself apart from the rest of the crowd, but when you know how to show employers that you have high empathy or that you’re compassionate and like to empower others, you can showcase the leadership skills they’re looking for!
Here are some wiZdoms for recent graduates entering the job force!
GRADUATION WIZDOMS
