A pre-TPNx special! Captain Larry Radford from United Airlines joins the program to chat about his 30+ years in the industry; 25 of them being at United. This is a perspective any United hopeful cannot go without. There is so much great info in here and Captain Radford gives it to us in a concise format.
We also talk a lot about how to project the best you and how to give back; it's amazing that when you give, you get so much more back in return. (Adam's hot tip: This really helps on resumes and applications!) Numbers are important, but how to become one of those success stories is where the rubber meets the road.
We are amped for Captain Radford and the United team to join us at TPNx this week. We hope you are too!
