People often think that employer branding starts from good advertisement or cool working culture. While nobody knows what “cool” really means. You can create fancy job titles, you can say that you have flexible hours or caviar sandwiches in the kitchen. But only very few remember that your company branding starts in CEO’s vision and mission of the company. And this is created for people and by people. People that create value, are going in the same bus and in the same direction. People who take responsibility, who grow together with the organization are going to be natural ambassadors and will speak on the behalf of the company with ease.

12. I think of my career as a jungle gym, not a ladder:
jumping from rung to rung, side to side, up and
down, learning new things, pursuing new
experiences, and focusing as much on the journey
as the destination.
