All Things Career - Work Experience or Advanced Education
play

03/08/20 • 22 min

What matters most when getting a job? Is it your work experience or the number of degrees you have? And beyond securing a career, will experience or education help you keep the job, grow in your career, and make a competitive pay?
In this episode, take a sip with Eli Lilly and Company's Director of Talent Sourcing, Maurice Taylor, a professional who has over 30 years of recruiting experience.

SHOW SUMMARY:

[3:57] The Importance of Experience & Education

[6:13] How to find your workplace strengths

[9:25] Mentoring Circles

[11:33] How to sell yourself in an interview

[12:52] How to get experience when you have no experience

[17:05] Potential or Proven Results? Which matters most to employers?

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  1. Graduate school is great, but if it is not connected to a path toward a career, then it could be a waste of time or a waste of an expensive education.
  2. No one is perfect not even the interviewer. Our failures make us who we are - fail forward!
  3. Stay ready, so you don’t have to get ready.

EPISODE QUOTE: “We’re all rough drafts of who we are becoming.”
