Ep. 583: Zak Slayback – How High School Students Can Get Ahead In Their Careers

This is a proven formula; Zak will share his stories about how these actions benefited him in his professional climb. It’s a upward process of passion-driven learning, making connections, building new knowledge based on those connections, making richer connections based on that new knowledge, signaling that new knowledge, and building a broader network with those signals. Read Zak’s blog article, How a High School Student Can Get Ahead in Their Career.

Details:
– Why young people need to start personal websites while in high school, and how this website can work as a portfolio, showcase of personality, a canvas and as insurance
– How to contact an existing expert in the area you want to go into, getting a better idea of how to get started
– Researching Resources In Your Field, Zak writes "An old mentor of mine once told me that reading 5 books on a specific topic will give you more knowledge about that topic than 98% of people."
– Methods of signaling and building a portfolio
– growing your network of people who are a few steps ahead of you
