Common career myths

I don't have to start at the bottom if I have a graduate tertiary degree

"Where you start when you graduate will often depend on where the employer needs you or believes is the best place for you to learn the intricacies of their business. Sometimes this can be at the perceived bottom of the organisation, but this can be the best place to learn what an organisation is about and how it operates. Many
managers and business leaders have
started their careers doing entry-level jobs."
