What everyone should know about schools and entry-level positions
I’ve always been asked (interview or not) the magical question of “where did you go to school?” From family to friends to complete strangers.
PSA: School has had very little contribution to the work I do nor the work I am going to do. You would think Economics is heavily rooted in Personal Finance, but it really isn’t - especially in an academic setting.
Here are better questions to ask a student that will be more indicative of how they approach their work:
What have you built (or are building)?
What have you led?
How do you make decisions?
What’s next?
Going to a prestigious (or not) school doesn’t define you.
Seth Godin tells us, “You are the trail you’ve left behind, the people you’ve influenced, the work you’ve done.”
