“You need to sell, engage, learn, and listen, and get the whole team excited to go do it. You need to be a good storyteller. Great product managers can tell a story about a user, what he is doing in his life today, and what he would be able to do in the future if we just got him the right product.”

“Your resume is like your life - it is your golden ticket to the chocolate factory. I like to put customer service and management things and stuff like that on my resume.
Everyone has a business degree these days, so I’ll always be able to get a job. I found out about the international business major from a guy at The Gap. I didn't even know what it was. I Googled it, and it sounded better than just regular business, so I just chose that. My life decisions are based on stupid things.”Samantha, 21 year old international business major

STUDENT INSIGHT
Students think they have an idea of what employers want in a candidate, but they are often wrong.
“Your resume is like your life - it is your golden ticket to the chocolate factory.”Samantha, international business major
• Emphasize bullets on a resume, rather than exhibit skills through artifacts (portfolio)
• Think they should have a broad-but-shallow set of abilities, rather than a depth of competency in one area
• Typically apply for any and every job
EMPLOYER INSIGHT
Recruiters make snap judgments, directly impacting a candidate’s chances of success.
“Don’t apply to 5 of my jobs, because you aren’t going to get any of them.” Meg, Recruiter
• Form an opinion of a candidate in seconds based on a single data point
• Are looking for specific skills, and evidence of competency in that skill
• Create a mental narrative of what a candidate can do, based on how the student presents themselves

I don’t know how to show specific skills. I’m not sure I havespecific skills.
I don’t really understand what happens during the hiring process.
The key to getting a job is having a resume and cover letter.
It’s important to be viewed as having a broad set of interests and being open for anything.
