Summary

This week's episode of Monocycle tackles some of the questions that you asked in our Love Your Career Month post, questions like: How do people find jobs? Is it a bad thing to feel like you're learning as you go (instead of knowing it all before hand)? How do you navigate work and life in your twenties so that you set yourself up for success in your thirties? And so on. Pop your headphones in for Leandra's answers but don't stop shouting out new queries. It helps us help you and together we'll keep this podcast running like a rainforest with a perfect ecosystem.

who you admire, send them a resume. One of our employees actually mailed me her resume with

1:03.7

a note, and it wasn't handwritten, it was typed, but it was printed. And I was really
