This advise is too precious to remain buried in a tome.
Just a small preface: This advise came from Professor Henry Reiling of Harward Business School. This piece of advise led Dennis Carter to join Intel. Dennis Carter is primarily responsible for the 'Intel Inside' brand.
When you look for your first job find a job where nobody knows exactly what you're supposed to be doing. If they don't know what you're supposed to be doing, they won't know what you are not supposed to be doing. As a result, you can do anything you want, and you can take risks.

Will make sure that I keep this in mind when i look for my first job.
cool one....I wish I had read it years ago....
@Arjuna @Aquarius, I wish I had too when I started my career. But it is never too late. I exercised this option 13 years after I had settled comfortably into my previous job.
