Linkedin study - managers and directors

April 23, 2017

Introduction



It was a beautiful day Sunday and Julia went out for Vancouver sun run. After 10 km running and walking, she was recovering quickly starting from 1:00 pm and then spent more than 60 minutes to study Google managers and directors, facebook managers and directors on linkedin profile.

Julia was noticed that last Friday at work and surprised that she did not pay attention to one of webpage she worked on. She spent over hours to clean up CSS class name and ID selector names, she planned to write a Javascript code to wrap all those data in html code, and then write a simple Javascript array or Json object file to get better organized.

Related to the last Friday work experience and Saturday booking woman tech contest, Julia likes to do a small study about current managers and directors in high tech companies through linkedin.

Study of managers and directors 


Julia does not have a concrete idea what to study and what to look for, she just spent first 20 - 30 minutes to read some managers profiles and then figured out their career path, and then go from there.

She watched the tennis professional players press interviews and also browsed more managers profiles.
