    Making a great first impression in a new job is essential. Be on time, be prepared, and be positive. Be yourself and let your enthusiasm shine through.

    Sorry but no. Not asking question when you should is the worst way to demonstrate competency. Instead of saying, “I’ll do my best”, it says, “I don’t care what y’all do, I’ll do it my own way and make it up as I go.”

    This is just all good advice for white people who can LITERALLY just go to a job and wait for promotions to just happen out of thin air. Can you do a series of this for REAL advice, for like minorities that have to deal with things like representing their entire race, or maybe minorities who have many years of experience and still dont get hired at a new job unless they get hired at entry level positions? Maybe you can do one about how companies use hard working and insightful minorities employees to parade off their diversity and inclusion mumbo jumbo and then never promote that employee whatsoever in favor of inexperienced white people. Or you can do one about how any given organization chart in America looks like a glass of soda that has been left out in the sun all day and melts- meaning all the dark stuff goes to the bottom and the top is so clear that its see through.
