I love it when a young adult comes clean.
All too often, young workers who fail early refuse to accept responsibility for their struggles and instead blame the economy, or their company, or their boss, or…

Interestingly, she cites almost very one of the 7 core work ethic values (attitude, reliability, professionalism, initiative, integrity, respect, and gratitude) when reflecting upon her former self.
I’ve never met Kate Pesich, but she has a new fan, and a new subscriber to her blog.
