Beyond The Offer
So you got the job, now what?  Josh talks to experts about first job expectations, discussing what kinds of leverage entry-level employees actually have. We explore questions about when it’s appropriate to re-negotiate salaries and offer tips to manage the balance between respecting the employer and advocating for yourself. 

Choosing the Best Path
Shipp and specialists discuss the best ways to identify potential career paths for chosen fields and explore potential challenge/pitfalls that lie ahead. During the package, experts provide tips and tools to determine, on an individual basis, the careers for which some millennials are best suited. Creative or unexpected ways to get where you’re going.

11/11 —Career, Country (Veteran’s Segment)
