as an artisan and strategize as a waitress at a pancake
house?”

success?

global world?

YOUR STUDENTS!
Do your students follow your lead of
demonstrating above average behavior?

curiosity, passion, solutions finding actions.
Is your/their PQ + CQ stronger than your/their
IQ ?
Do all your students earn an “A”?

Everyone Must Pass the Bar Exam!
It doesn’t matter what is on your resume/cv.
• Employees are given specific tests
• Hire art? https://www.hireart.com/
• Find Your Best Fit
• “We match talented sales and customer service people with forwardthinking companies”.
Employers don’t want you to take a chance on you.
•
Only hire a new employee if they can add value
“Email list:” Who is watching your performance

•
Big data creates the “email list.”

LinkedIn is Your New Resume
Sue Gubing
If you’re not already on LinkedIn join now!
Corporate and agency headhunters avoid
advertising an open position, but go searching on
LinkedIn for what employers call “passive jobseekers.”
(You ain’t lookin’ for them, but they are lookin’ for
you.)
They search by keywords.
“Don’t forget this: for an employer, hiring is essentially
an elimination game.”
Employers look for any reason to eliminate you! Why?
○ To make their task of hiring easier!
○ Their goal: minimum # of face-to-face interviews!
Note: Skilled HR managers can scan & eliminate a resume in approx. 8 seconds!
Moral of the Story?
DON’T GIVE THEM A REASON TO
ELIMINATE YOU!
5.4 - the magic number a.k.a. the average number of faceto-face interviews an employer conducts… increase your
odds… where are you posting your resume?

Advice to the Millennials
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6RHrtobfZk 4 minutes
How do you think like an immigrant?
How do you think like an artisan?
How do you think like a starter-upper in
Silicon Valley? Be in Beta - You are never
FINISHED!
PQ + CQ is better than IQ
Always think like a waitress. Always think
like an entrepreneurial.

2 Challenges:
Bring below skilled students from the bottom to average
Need to bring the average to the global heights
We need more creative, non routine workers
More and better education focused on the 3 c’s: creativity, communications and
collaboration.
Invent, re-invent and engineer their own job
We all have to really become residents of Garrison Keillor's fictional
Lake Wobegon where
…..all the men are strong
…..all the women are good-looking and
…..all the children are above average
Because in this hyper-connected world average is officially over!
