Michiel van Vlimmeren

From my own experience, my best advice to young professionals is to let go of the feeling of having to prove yourself. It is really not necessary. Be yourself, take the time to get to know an organization and the people you work with. Not just what they do, but who they are and get to know the relationship dynamics. The time you put into the authenticity of your network is ultimately going to help you to the role that suits you best
