Universities Have Failed Miserably | Fitzgerald on Talent

<p>The Big Themes:<br />• 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.<br />• 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.<br />• They have to do their homework: I find it very sad that these young people don’t recognize that they have to present themselves.<br />• 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.</p><p>The Big Quotes:<br />“Look online. Every company has hundreds of openings and there's so many people that are interviewing.”</p><p>“You need to also recognize that your hope is that you're going to gain one or two advocates out of the interviewers.”</p><p>“It's hugely important to recognize that you really want to connect with these people that are on the interview cycle.”</p><p>This episode is brought to you by BMC Software.</p>
