This is the first official blog post by the APCG alumni! How exciting :) So, we're going to go over what to expect when you check this blog. Luckily, for you, all you have to do is sit back and relax. We're going to try to make this as welcoming as possible, because we know what our first few years in the industry felt like. We're here to tell you that as long as you continue to read and engage in the messages on this blog, it will happen for you and we are so excited for you to be out there with us! A lot of us are going to tell stories of how we got our "in" to the industry, and some of us will contribute advice from our experiences. This is by no means a set of rules... everyone does it differently and everyone has different experiences. But by listening to what we have to say, we hope to increase your chances.
