-: One that's very analytical.
One of the things about finance
that really applied to software is the fact
that it's just another version of analytics,
so whether that's mathematics,
whether that's computer science, whether that's
some of the big data stuff that we have in Miller here now
that weren't available when I was in school.
One part of it is a very logic based thinking.
I gotta solve problems in a logical way.
The other part is, don't forget about the soft skills.
While at my background and my education is
in logical things, finance and economics,
the skills I use most of the time
are actually my soft skills.
So, if you get a chance to take that psychology class
or something else, go do the things that maybe seem obscure,
but they're actually the things you're gonna use more often.
The way people think, again, that's a people business
and even with all the digital communications
we have today in 2018,
if you can't talk to somebody,
you can't communicate with somebody,
you're at a disadvantage.
And so, those things that help you understand
how people think, how people react,
whether it be emotions or otherwise,
are really important skills to pick up and hone.
A lot of times it has to do with my,
when you sit down and interview 'em
do you connect with them?
Do they have something that stands out like?
And in most of the time, I'm looking for experience.
And I don't mean experience like,
I've done this job for 20 years in this market,
because there's not a lot of people
that have the direct experience in our markets.
I'm looking for people who've experienced things
and changed organizations, or customers,
or whatever it might be,
the thing that they can point to and say,
hey look I got to have an opportunity
and I took advantage of it, and here's what I did with it,
and the outcome was transformational.
That's the kind of person.
If I've got that kind of interaction with somebody,
and I click with them,
I'm very interested in bringing them on the team.
