Sometimes you can stay in a place for too long and stunt your own growth. Figure out how to promote yourself.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Your manners, attitude and presentation matter and they can open doors for you or close them. Learn as many forms of etiquette as possible. That along with job skills will make you more marketable.
