2. Erin initially thought she would be getting into a government job, but instead found herself in a much more fulfilling career where she can add value to people's lives.

3. Erin explains why she feels that the first 90 days of a job are so crucial. She shares a few things that someone needs to look out for if they don't want to be spending the rest of their time repairing the damage and trying to catch up. Getting the dream job is only part of the equation, after that: the first 90 days are the next big step.

On top of trust and competence, learning how things work within the company, and who you can turn to for help makes a huge difference in your success within an organization.
