1. The single most important insight I walked away with was the understanding of how important it is to know someone who’s closely related to the position you’re applying to. Search on linked in, ask your peers and mentors, and connect with people, view it as a personal relationship rather than a networking possibility. I also liked his explanation of the relationship ladder: strangers –> acquaintance –> peer (?) –> mentor –> sponsor.
2. I found Gorick hit the ethos, pathos, and logos of a high quality speaker. I liked how interactive he was with the audience, providing ample polls to share our own experiences. The incentive of earning points by attending led me to attend, and should be kept for future events.
3. I was hoping to gain insight on how to stand out amongst the heaps of job applications and cold emails nowadays, and Gorick provided some steps and ways to stand out, which was quite helpful.
