Headstart through passion | Jordan and Yannis Henrion | TEDxUniMannheim

For us, the key factor to success is to develop your own passion beside your studies. Statistics show that nowadays, careers often start after turning 25, as studies last longer. In Paris, where we both live, most people start working even later, most of the time between 27 and 30 years old. Our goal is to show that you can start shaping and boosting your career even before it has started. And passion is the key factor to achieve that, as it makes you special, allows you to stand out of the crowd and be appealing to employers. We decided to share our experience with turning our passion into a strong professional asset. We will explain why it is important to push it forward, be perseverant, make great use of social intelligence and self-promotion and do it all beside your working life/studies.
