Not all schools have a consulting club, extensive alumni networks in consulting firms, or recruiters that come to their campus looking for top applicants. If you are at one of these schools you may find yourself at a disadvantage (to be honest you probably are) but people do still get into firms from non-target schools. Do you come from a non-target school? If you come from a non-target school you will likely have to network your way into a firm.

Businesses are laying off workers, shutting their doors (some permanently), and struggling to react to the radical destruction that coronavirus (COVID-19) is doing to our society and communities. Most have already sustained massive damage, and we still have yet to see the scope of impact of the global pandemic that has upended the globe. Any return to normalcy may seem far-off, but sales and marketing are on the front lines of restarting the economy. When the dust settles, we have a responsibility to turn our shock and grief into fierce determination, and lead the charge of responsible, strategic, sustainable future growth. However, there’s no team better suited to lead that charge than the marketing department. Marketers are uniquely positioned to provide creative solutions to aid their organization in times of change and chart a course for navigating success.

I was watching some football over the weekend and some post-game interviews. One question to a quarterback was about why a certain player has made such a big jump this year. The answer, “His intelligence.”. One of my friends and client is Fred Barkman, owner of Spectra Labs. If I’ve heard Fred say it once I’ve heard him say it a dozen times (the old standard), “A people hire A people, B people hire C people.” It’s the same as a boss saying they want to hire people smarter than they are.
