PLN15
What matters on The Official Google Blog is the post "Our Googley Advice to Students: Major in Learning." This post matters because it gives a general description of what companies look for in employees. It does this by going over what Google looks for. For example, Google wants people with analytical reasoning, communication skills, willingness to experiment, people who are team players, and a passion for leadership. I connected these things back to PLN14, and the "Rigor Redefined" article, and the fact that the thing that companies are looking for have changed. My analysis of the requirements in both the Google article and "Rigor Redefined" is that businesses today want people who are more independent and out going. I can see why, business has evolved in the twenty first century, things are more interactive. With things like skype, e-mail, and txt, people are constantly communicating, and companies want people who can utilize these new technologies and get things done. In other words, it is the way of the future and if you don't take part you will be left behind. Thus why it is important to read articles such as these and learn about what it is going to take to succeed in the 2000's and beyond.

Very good point. I like when you said "it is the way of the future and if you don't take part you will be left behind." It is very true. Times are changing, and they are changing faster all the time. It can also become overwhelming at times. One of my fellow peers pointed out the fact that technology is advancing so fast that we can barely keep up with it. You can buy an ipod one year, and they've already come out with a better one by the next year! We're constantly updating our technology to the newer and the better things. Personally, this overwhelms me, even to think about it. What's your perspective on it? Do you believe that fast advancing technology is a positive thing? Or do you think that it has its negative effects?
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Technology is definitely moving at a ridiculous pace. Staying up dates, as you said, is extremely important. What other ways other than skype, e-mail, and text is there to communicate and stay connected?
