Starting your first job is equal parts exciting, confusing, and a little overwhelming. From the unexpected surprises on day one to figuring out which skills actually matter (hint: it’s not always the ones listed on your resume), the journey from “new hire” to confident contributor is full of lessons that no one really teaches you.

In this panel with WiCyS Strategic Partner, Bloomberg, we’ll dive into real stories and insider advice that professionals wish they had when starting out. We’ll talk about the skills that make the biggest difference, how to adapt quickly to a new organization, team and culture, as well as the roles that mentors, managers, and peers play in shaping your growth. Most importantly, we’ll unpack the unspoken rules of the workplace — those things you won’t find in an onboarding guide but which can define your career trajectory.

Whether you’re about to start your first role or already navigating early career challenges, this conversation will give you a candid, relatable look at what it really takes to thrive in today’s workplace.
