>> I would say the number one thing and this is probably like something standard
that a lot of students here is just read.
I probably didn't read enough when I was in school just staying up to date,
like current events and really owning in on industries that interests you.
So you know I started my senior year to read deeply into like the finance world,
but once I graduated and was in that role, I really started to read up on like things
like tech crunch and beta beat and all of these tech heavy you know newspapers or magazines
and that's when I really caught, caught the bug and really got interested in that scene.
So you know without knowledge, without having like the real life situations that you're
up to speed on, it's really hard to figure out what you like and don't like.
So I would just recommend, you know getting knee deep in as many books and things like that
in various industries to really find out what, what kind of motivates you.
So we have a few unique qualities that we look for at Uber, one is definitely a form
of leadership, the ability to you know eventually be a leader and also be, be fierce.
So basically not being afraid of a challenge,
always be willing to help and put all hands on deck.
I think it's also really important to be able to operate independently.
We're huge on collaboration and teamwork, but you're, you're not going to have a manager
who is just kind of like micro managing you.
So in an entrepreneurial you know focused company, like Uber,
we like to say that's it's still a startup, even though we have more than 1500 employees.
It's just really important to be able to do things on your own and to be able to execute
and get things done without somebody hovering over you.
I'd also say just analytical skills in general, like anyway that you can continue
to sharpen analytical skills, those are things that we definitely look for in coming in
and also just communicative skills, so personable, making sure that people are able
to communicate effectively, you know whether it's internally to, to colleagues
or whether it's to partners who are on the network,
who you may have to you know send an e-mail out to thousands of people or thousands of partners
to communicate with them about some types of change, but so it's really important to us.
