Cloud Wars Live with Bob Evans

Universities Have Failed Miserably | Fitzgerald on Talent


Listen Later

The Big Themes:
• Young kids don’t have any money: After spending a hundred thousand dollars on a four year education I’d like to see the universities at least provide a one day seminar and teach them personal skills.
• A lot of brilliant minds: Talented people that are in the middle of their career have no idea how to navigate to the next level.
• They have to do their homework: I find it very sad that these young people don’t recognize that they have to present themselves.
• The video conference is a challenge: If you're feeling stressed take a breath, have fun, enjoy yourself, try really hard to make it a conversation. It’s not always about your skills or abilities. It’s about the personality contest.

The Big Quotes:
“Look online. Every company has hundreds of openings and there's so many people that are interviewing.”

“You need to also recognize that your hope is that you're going to gain one or two advocates out of the interviewers.”

“It's hugely important to recognize that you really want to connect with these people that are on the interview cycle.”
