Ron Storn, the VP of People at Lyft, has a very important piece of advice for recent graduates and anyone else that is on a job search…focus less on the job itself and more on the company. Solely focusing on a niche career doesn’t make sense and will just hold you back in the long run. Definitely have a career in mind but don’t let that stop you from taking a different position at an organization that you’re interested in working at. Focus on a company with a mission and values that you believe in. Then once you get inside that company it will be much easier to move around and reach your career goals. Using this advice will enable you to be more successful!

This video is brought to you by Staples Business Advantage, the business-to-business division of Staples, Inc. I recently worked with Staples Business Advantage on their 2016 Workplace Index, which examined the state of the workplace in the United States and Canada. The report identified what employees want and need from their employers, including wellness programs, smart office design, the right technology, and space and supplies for taking breaks. These findings are critical to help companies meet their recruitment, retention, and employee engagement goals. Download the report at go.staplesadvantage.com/workplaceindex2016.
