As the Editor-in-Chief of Cosmopolitan magazine，Jessica Pels is responsible for managing the content of one of the world's largest young women's media brands.Pels has ambitiously navigated her career to the top role relatively quickly，but the path she took wasn't traditional.
   Pels learnt ballet as a child and found her way to New York City dancing for a summer，but eventually gave up dance when she knew she "wasn't good enough to be a star".She didn't give up her dream of working in the big city，though.Pels attended a film school at New York University and as a sophomore（大學(xué)二年級(jí)），got her first internship at The New Yorker.After graduation in 2008，many brands were in a hiring freeze.But Pels was not affected.She got a job doing communications for a charity.
   Six months into her first job，Pels got a job at Glamour Magazine to work for the Editor-in-Chief Cindy Levy.She would turn this first assistant role into her career，and finally found her way to Cosmopolitan，where she became the youngest editor-in-chief in the magazine's history.
   Reflecting on her career and the worst advice she's ever received，Pels said it was "to say yes to everything".It was a habit she had to learn to break.And while she acknowledges the importance of seizing opportunities，she doesn't think that strategically saying "no" would have been a damage to her career.
   She remembers the conversation with her boss Kate Lewis that changed her perspective on over-committing. "I had just started at Marie Claire as the digital director，and she said，'I worry you're going to burn out because you're saying yes to everything and you are acting in such an aggressive way，and you need to take a step back and prioritize.' And that really changed my life.I thought that was an incredible career moment."
