Do you remember when you first began your career at Harris & Harris? You may have been excited, nervous, eager, uncertain, hopeful or even a bit confused. Did you wish that there was someone who could tell you everything there is to know about Harris & Harris, but didn’t really want to ask your new leader? From where the nearest restroom was to the best spot for lunch, or how quickly you could get promoted, you most likely had a lot of questions! You may have wished for someone who already worked at Harris & Harris who could help you figure things out…and fast! Are you now well acclimated and ready to show off your leadership and mentoring abilities, but haven’t found the right opportunity? Then you may be perfect for our new Harris & Harris Ally Program.
