Lecture Description

Find what you have a passion for and find a company that represents that, says Raikes.  Life is too short to focus on money.  Interviewers look for three things: high energy, high horse power, and the ability to get things done.  It is nice to have relevant experience, but it is more important to be really passionate and willing to learn quickly, he adds.
