Lean into the items that fit with you and be good at what you’re good at.    6:10 – Find a company that fits you – The company doesn’t just choose you.  You get to choose the company as well.  Do your research before an interview so you know if you are a good fit.    7:45 – Research! – In today’s world there are a lot of different ways you can research companies prior to an interview.  Drive by, read reviews online, check out their website…etc.  There is always something available for you to find.  8:50 – We all wear masks – Learn to bring your mask down, but also know you can control what you share in different spaces. 10:12 – Stand out from the crowd.  Put your authentic self into your work.  That’s what makes you unique. 12:54 – Rock the interview – 60% of people do their research before the interview, 2-5% do a deep dive. Do your research and don’t start the interview by asking “What do you do?” 14:13 -Singular focus – Don’t try to be everything to everyone.  Have a singular focus on what you want to accomplish.   16:02 – Be you – If you get hired you will work with your team day in and day out.  Be yourself during the interview and start the relationship then and there to make sure it’s a good fit.
