October 16, 2014 Class

Today in class we have Jacob Heuser, the principle web developer for linkedin. He is a graduate from CSUMB from about ten years ago. The talk that he is talking about is what will happen after school is over, after we have graduated. The ideas that the he telling us to do is very good. Telling us how important networking is and that everyone that you meet, you should get to know because they are the ones that can help you get that next big job. He also mentioned that in the 400 class that we have to take for capstone, get to know everyone in that class, because we will all be going to work field at the same time. His story about how he got a job at linkedin was about how he met a person on a plane and started talking to him, to find out that he works at linkedin and got his foot in the door for Jacob. So that he directly gave his resume to the person who hires instead of going through a recruiter or just sent into an inbox.
