Pour accéder au marché du travail avec succès, il faut d’abord un conseiller compréhensif, encourageant et ouvert aux diverses définitions du succès professionnel.

Si vous poursuivez une carrière hors du milieu universitaire, demandez-vous : Quelles ressources m’auraient aidé à faire la transition, à mettre mes compétences en valeur et m’auraient permis de voir la « réussite » autrement? À la fin des années 1990 et au début des années 2000...
