Self Assessments - What do you enjoy? What are you good at? What's available?



UC Berkeley Haas School of Business-MBA app prep.pdf


1. What do I enjoy most about my current job, taking into account my roles and responsibilities, my employer, my team, and my company culture, mission, and location?

2. What do I enjoy least about my current job? Or, what would I change?

3. What specific experiences help to showcase what I enjoy most/least about my job?

4. What would make me happier, and how do I define happy? Am I happiest when I am challenged, successful, valued, well-compensated, having an impact, building relationships, etc.?

5. What skills or experiences are missing from my repertoire, both professionally and personally? In other words, what are my areas for improvement?

6. What kind of environment brings out the best in me? Or conversely, which environments stifle my creativity and growth? How does this translate to the type of business school environment or culture that will best support me?

7. When I reflect on my most influential supervisors or mentors, what characteristics give them that designation for me? What elements of their leadership style do I hope to emulate?

8. What am I passionate about? And how do those passions inform the type of leader, manager, or person I want to become? How do they inform the type of impact I want to have – on my team, my community, the world?

9. What adjectives would I use to describe myself? What adjectives would others (a friend, coworker, client, supervisor) use to describe me? What experiences from my background will help showcase these characteristics in the application process?

10. In 2-3 years from now, when I reflect back on my business school experience, what kind of legacy do I want to leave? What impact do I hope to have had on my community? How will I be a different, better, stronger person than I am now?

11. How does an MBA fit into my life? Will I thrive stepping into a season where focus and time management are key? Can I learn to distinguish between what’s really important and what’s moderately important? How will I plan ahead, prioritize, and make the most of my MBA journey?

12.In what ways could what I learn in an MBA program immediately improve my life at work? How can I convey the immediate value add I can bring to my role, team, and company to my supervisor so they support my decision to seek an MBA? BERKELEY HAAS MBA PROGRAMS Learn More » haas.berkeley.edu S




Interview Tips

https://www.ivyexec.com/career-advice/2019/how-to-project-confidence-during-a-job-interview-even-when-youre-really-nervous/


Here are a few final thoughts to keep in mind before your next job interview:

  • About 30% of hiring decisions are made in the first five minutes; 5% are made in the first 60 seconds. Make your introduction count!
  • Plan what you want to tell the interviewer about yourself. This is how most interviews open, and it’s your chance to take control of the conversation and tell your story.
  • Every situation, no matter how difficult, has a positive spin. Focus on being positive and highlight what you learned from a professional setback. 
  • Acknowledge your anxiety; don’t suppress it. You can be confident and anxious. By making peace with your anxiety, you can deal with it.
  • Don’t worry about what you just said. The moment is over and done. Instead, focus on what comes next and try to use your body, voice, and words to make a positive impression.


Take notes on what was said by both parties and learn from it for the next interview


Technical Interview Process - Google Example 


For the second session, traditionally technical interviews for companies with established recruiting processes go as follows (using a software engineer as an example) 

Recruiter Call (informal)
Technical Interview ( 45 minutes to 1 hour, working through a coding challenge. More junior roles focus on data structure and algorithms, more senior incorporate system design)
Onsite interview
(3-5 rounds, 45 minutes to an hour each). Depending on the company, some of these will be technical interviews again, and some may be behavioral. Also, depending on the role, there may be a technical leadership component as well. 

Prepare for Technical Interviews

Best way to prepare- in my opinion, brush up on data structures algorithms for more junior candidates, and system design for more senior candidates. Coding ability, big O notation, etc and how they can be used in your solutions. Topcoder.com has some good practice rooms in the first/second divisions to warm up for interviews. 

As always, don't just focus on the technical interviews. Make sure to have some examples of taking lead on some projects, and follow through on the example with how the project ended and what the results were, and the business impact of the results, especially for leadership. Examples of successful mentoring are important too. Finally, make sure to research the company as well and have some thoughtful questions prepared for the end of each interview (and make sure you don't ask the same question to each interviewer, they will figure it out!)

Template for Employee One on One Meetings


I’ve broken the template into 5 pages, each focused on a different support strategy to help optimize your one-on-one meetings. Below is a list of pages with a note about how we use them. Feel free to adapt our pages or add your own to fit your needs.
  • Partnership agreement: This is the most important step. Define how you want your unique partnership to work, including the meeting cadence, the types of topics you’ll cover, and who’s responsible for what aspects of the session.
  • Meeting notes: Structure and capture your primary meeting notes here. Take time to design how you want each meeting to run. This is the page where you’ll spend the most time.
  • Review goals: Capture individual OKRs and personal goals.
  • Track development: Agree on personal and professional goals. Keep a list of learning resources, conferences, classes etc to help with growth.
  • Kudos: Record proud moments and snippets of praise from others for encouragement and growth

Morgan State Program on DLT including employment - Sept 2024

Sean Bohan <sbohan@linuxfoundation.org>


I have been working with Morgan State on setting up a series of 1-hour seminars on decentralized topics and David Boswell suggested I reach out on the topic of "Getting a job in Web3/Crypto". 
Hyperledger has worked with Morgan State over the last few years, bringing guest speakers to talk to the students/faculty on decentralized topics like Identity, CBDCs, etc. The faculty at Morgan State were pretty excited at the idea of a session on finding a career in the space. 
As it is only hour, this isn't really a career fair but more of an overview of finding a career in Web3/Crypto, what skills are important, etc. The overall agenda is 30-45 min of presentation with the rest of the time set aside for questions. We usually get up to 100 people for these sessions, a mix of engineering and business students, and the seminars are posted to the Hyperledger YouTube. 
If you would be interested in helping out with this, we have started identifying dates for the fall semester (4 Mondays across Sept-Oct at 12noon ET) and I can let you know what is available and see if that works with your schedule. 
Let me know?

Thanks
- Sean
