I find that the key to getting a job is how social you are. Study done at Google. They put out a job opening 200 CVs within like 60 minutes. They shut it down. They bring in the 20 best candidates and 70% of the time the person they end up hiring has an internal advocate.
70% of the time the person they end up hiring has an internal advocate. So, one, a boss, if you're in your 50s, it doesn't matter if you're in your 50s or your 20s. The advice we would give your 22-year-old self, you got to make a bunch of calls.
You're never going to have as dense an opportunity or human capital pool as the one you're going to have in graduate school. smart, talented young people who are all looking to better themselves.
