Career counseling: Uber style
Uber did a brilliant thing Thursday: It offered customers a chance to ride with a mentor willing to give advice and feedback on their resume, business goals, salary negotations, etc.
For three hours, Uber in Charlotte partnered with Levo League to make six successful local businesswomen available in Uber cars. The ride was free, and every rider even got a snack: a brüks bar! Here’s a taste of some of the traffic at #UBERmentor:
