The hiring process is ultra-competitive.

But you’ve incorrectly been told that the only way to stand out is by having fancy degrees and credentials.

THREAD: 20 ways to stand out in a hiring process (that don’t involve your resume):
Do Your Research

Before an interview, spend a few hours researching the company and role.

At a minimum, learn the company mission, read up on recent news on the company or its market, and study the backgrounds of the key leaders.

Google is a powerful asset. Use it.
Embrace “I Don’t Know”

You can’t know the answer to every question.

And you know what? That’s ok!

Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know” - but then follow it with a plan to acquire that information.

“I don’t know, but I’ll dig in and follow up with an email.”

Then follow up!

Humans are astonishingly bad at setting goals.

We consistently establish targets that invite manipulation.

THREAD: A mental model on goal setting and unintended consequences:
Goodhart’s Law is a simple mental model:

When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

If a measure of performance becomes a stated goal, humans tend to optimize for it, regardless of any associated consequences.

The measure loses its value as a measure!
Goodhart’s Law is named after British economist Charles Goodhart, who referenced the concept in a 1975 article on British monetary policy.

Goodhart wrote that, “Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes.”

The recruiting and hiring process needs a revamp.

Lack of transparency in the application process is a barrier to equal opportunity and access to unique, attractive jobs is uneven at best. The traditional “gatekeepers” are ripe for disruption.

We can do better...
In this vein, in the weeks to come, I am going to be launching a job board, where I will curate and share the most exciting new jobs in finance, media, and technology.

This job board will be free for all candidates, so anyone can browse and apply to these amazing opportunities.
I will be sharing featured roles every week via Twitter and my newsletter.

Companies will gain direct access to a unique, growing pool of talent and have their exciting new roles and brands highlighted to a large audience.

A great commencement speech is filled with wisdom.

On careers, startups, business, or life.

10 powerful lessons from the best commencement speeches of all time:
Connecting the Dots

"You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future." - Steve Jobs, Stanford 2005

Life is uncertain.

Have faith that your dots will somehow connect.
Master the Rescue

"The difference between triumph and defeat, you’ll find, isn’t about willingness to take risks. It’s about mastery of rescue." - Atul Gawande, Williams 2012

Failures are a given.

The greatest don't fail less, they just succeed in rescuing more.

THREAD: The story of the last few weeks in business has been the ransomwear attack that took down the Colonial Pipeline.

On ransomwear-as-a-service, DarkSide, and what happens when publicity becomes really bad for business:
1/ First, a few definitions...

What is ransomwear?

Ransomware is a type of malware - a software designed to cause harm to a computer, server, or network.

Ransomwear is used to encrypt the files on your system and hold it “hostage” until the demanded ransom is paid.
2/ Ransomwear is not new, but ransomwear attacks are most definitely on the rise.

With the world increasingly moving online, the cyber-attackers have experienced a windfall.

Both the frequency of attacks and the size of the average ransom payments have increased dramatically.
