First, you can always be the best in your class, with the highest grades. This is a valid strategy that works. To graduate with honors, to invest the most, to be the one who helps everyone and explains to others. This is a legitimate strategy that also works. Companies like to hire employees who excel. A large part of their selections are questions about the material of the studies.
But being the best is not easy. It requires a lot of time, resources, and sacrifices. And even then, the element of talent is very much at play. So how to be at the top anyway?
“Who needs skills that have connections?”
“Friend bringing friend” is one of the most accepted recruitment methods in the labor market. Even if you can’t be the strongest student, you can be the most connected student, which may be better. (especially in the long run) .The more people you meet, the more doors will open for you.
Pay attention – you should combine quality and volume: become a friend to many people, be friendly and generous, and have some deep and meaningful relationships.
Weakness Can Sometimes Be an Advantage
I had a friend from school who was having a hard time. The university had an assistance program in which a veteran third-year student is paired with a first-year student to help him with his studies.
They connected, and a year later, the older student who worked at Intel also helped the younger student get hired.
The young student who had difficulty in his studies overtook his friends in the round by already working and gaining professional experience.
Accumulating Capabilities in a Competitive Market
Remember looking at the jobs in the previous chapters? Now is the time to look at them again, and this time we will check what they are looking for.
Do they require knowledge of specific tools? You can learn them all by yourself through the Internet.
Is there a requirement for a high level of other languages? This is exactly the time to start improving it. Is one course more important than others? Maybe it’s worth it for you to invest more in it.
For example, the Excel course is essential for economists because Excel is the primary work tool for most of them.
