Asking for advice can be a good thing, but know who you are first. Then you can ask for the correct type of advice for your situation.
I recently read a friends post where she asked everyone for advice on her next career move. She wasn't looking for a job but outlined what experience she has and what new career field would be a good fit. I share my thoughts in this episode on why looking to others for advice in this way could be more of a future road block than an opportunity.
