2. The 3rd Annual
LinkedIn Bring In Your Parents Day
took place on November 5, 2015.
As part of the celebration, we asked people
to share the best pieces of career advice
their parents ever gave them.
Here’s what they had to say...

3. You can do anything
you set your mind to.
Jeff Weiner
CEO of LinkedIn

4. When you’re speaking with someone,
look them in the eye and actively listen
to what they have to say — because
everyone has a story.
Brandon P.

5. Make as many decisions
as necessary to get your
life just right.
Alyssa M.

6. Do not stand in the corner.
Move to the front, be heard,
be seen, and most of all,
be proud.
Ranee W.

7. Integrity in what you say
and do is everything.
Pamela K.

8. You can excel at anything you
want to — it just requires
practice and determination.
Darain F.

9. You manage time and
money, not people.
You lead them.
Jennifer A.

10. There will always be people who have
more than you and there will always
be people who have less. Don’t get
caught up in comparing yourself to
the people who have more.
Jennifer U.

11. Nobody knows how to do a job
until they have it. Don’t let the
unknown keep you from someone
willing to give you a chance.
T.C.

12. Find a job that lets you
be your best self.
Amy R.

13. You’re never too old
to learn or too young
to teach.
Richard B.

14. Page W.
It’s not what happens to you.
It’s how you handle it.

15. Sab J.
Dress for the job that you want,
not for the job that you have.

16. Out of difficulties
spring miracles.
Shanti M.

17. Do not be afraid
of the word “No.”
Just ask.
