No matter where you are now, or where you want your career to move in the future, we all had to start somewhere. And on today's show, we're talking about our humble beginnings and the lessons we learned from them. Liz and Matt share their memories of their first gigs, and then we're joined by writer Pat Cunnane, whose new book, "West Winging It: An Un-Presidential Memoir," covers his first real job: working at the White House. Then, we help some listeners: a morale-boosting award is backfiring at Jessica's office, and Shawn's struggling to hit an accuracy metric. And we debate those eternal workplace questions in today's iteration of "Mind the Gap."
