Can you remember your first “real” job? I don’t mean the one where you worked at a grocery, a movie theater, or a telemarketing agency (I worked at all three). I mean your first job out of college where you had to write cover letters, interview, and negotiate a salary. I remember mine vividlu. After graduating college with honors and a dual B.A. in business management and economics from UC Santa Cruz, I ended up working at a technology company in downtown L.A. I was still living at home with my parents but was very excited to land my first job.
This is a very special episode of The Future in Five where I take a look inside the offices of LinkedIn. I also had a chance to speak with Pat Wadors, HR officer at Linkedin, whom I did a recent podcast with. Pat shared some very interesting insights with me as to why they chose this office style, which allows flexibility for a group of like-minded people solving like-minded problems to come together. We also got a chance to talk a little about Millennials who make up 70% of LinkedIn’s workforce, and her insights on corporate culture. We concluded with Pat giving us a peak into her day, what she’s passionate about, and the amazing places she sees LinkedIn going. We end this episode with a tour of the LinkedIn offices. So tune in and enjoy!
