30 minutes video, Laszlo Bock has a conversation with thomas L. Friedman
Take down some notes:
First round, 31 minutes:
You can learn vs you know what you are doing
What google looks for:
1. Learning ability
2. Emergency leadership
team 4 - 6 people, step in/ step out
3. Culture fit - just like us, people are comfortable with ambiguity.
humanity, conscientious
3. Expertise, good engineer, great at it.
5 - 10 times, comes out something new - Look at the problem again and again.
14% percent no college degree - How google selected them?
Online training, self-taught. Pick up a lot of places, how to assess these?
Look at deep, net hire each year 5000 - 8000, 2 million application.
Every day MIT people size of people applies every day, 11,500 students.
Recruiter, screen, assessment - phone screen - engineer, technical coding ability
Come to campus after phone screen
Ask transcript - 15 years out of school - people 1/3, people lies. Small recruiting is making sense.
Performance - 300 independent variables, like school, first two years, velocity - how quickly you get promoted.
Grades are only for first 2 years after the school.
Grades - curve in different colleges.
Recruiter - big mistake in writing job resume/ answer: poorly write what they accomplished.
Give people understand - grow x by doing y based on z
How to avoid big mistakes in the interview? Do not wear suits.
Do not wear suit. Curious, demonstrate interest.
Talk about a candidate, she asked if it is not for interview - authentic interest.
1. Great question, why took hard course and got low grade instead of getting easy course?
Julia should learn how to answer question like this, ask herself: why taking hardest contest on hackerrank, what you learn? your performance can go so low compared to others?
People shy away from pain.
Learn analytical skills - could not get A.
More objective skills ...
The things you learned through those tough classes - grades are tough, professors are not friendly, very valuable in your life.
First you learn analytical skills, very valuable. Most of people do not understand compound interest, pay off high interest rate or student loan.
Second you learn resilience of ..... (17:38/31:23), repeat twice last 5 minutes.
Minority hiring?
2. Cost of education
- advise for parents of young people, college choice.
1. Look for signals, brands recognize, every one else? Write a big check to get the education.
Related understandable - skills are transferable to any environment
fundamental - think of cost
14% vs 86% for big employer - 1/3 goes to college.
Short term is better to assess the people, screening
Push them to take math, physics class
Cultivate people long term - build a relationship first
Related to resume screening as well - certain type
83 years old - look at age, gender, ......
conscience bias - a lot of work to be done
Second round, 30 minutes
