It really applies to any industry, but Lindsay is a PR headhunter, so it’s focused on our industry.

The tips in a nutshell:

  • Don’t let your ego hang out there
  • Focusing on the job title rather than the job
  • Being too concerned with pay too early in the process
  • Bad-mouthing a previous employer
