-: I would say first of all your classes,
absolutely, you know, choose them wisely,
get into the classes you like,
find something that you're passionate about,
whether it's something from the technology perspective,
and get as much as you can
from the academic curriculum portion.
However all those extracurricular activities,
right, the clubs the student organizations,
the weekend events, the networking events,
your career center,
participate in as much of those as you can
and that prepared me so much for my job
in terms of working with different types of people.
Working with people who see things
very different from you.
Taking a leadership position in an organization,
making a decision on something
that someone completely disagrees with
and having to to either justify it
or change your mind, right.
If you've got a passion for technology,
if you're a question asker,
if you can prove you're a critical thinker,
and I think if you can talk about some of the times
that you've worked on teams,
if you can tell me about your failures,
tell me about the times you've been very,
been on the dysfunctional team
and had to work with people that disagreed with you
and we can figure out the type of person you are, too.
There's more to it than
just knowing some programming language,
right, I think it's who you are as a leader,
who you are as a person,
how well you work with others.
