It’s that time of year – the end of the school year. I’ve always liked to hire interns and new grads. And now, they have real marketable technical skills. The best of them have done multiple projects for others as well as themselves, and know a half a dozen different languages.
Finding the next shining star has always been particularly fun for me, but even more importantly, it’s proven to be very successful for the teams. The brightest entry-level hires I’ve known have moved very quickly out of the “entry-level” category to take on medium to larger sized projects with minimal supervision. The key is active, but light management. Give them a thoughtful progression of tasks and just enough guidance to keep them moving forward in the right direction and watch them take off! It’s a ball to watch!
