Learn Valuable Lessons Schools Couldn’t Teach

Through decades of recruiting experience, we've identified the three biggest causes of an unhappy career:

  1. Settling for a job that's easy to find rather than one where happiness is easy to find
  2. Pursuing studies that lead to an industry misaligned with one's life goals
  3. Struggling to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly changing world

To address these issues, we’ve put together three lessons no school could teach. Depending on your life stage, one or more of these could help you enjoy a more rewarding career:

Jobs

A Smarter Way to Search Jobs

The challenge of finding the next great opportunity arises multiple times in life, making job searching a crucial life skill. High school economics classes teach us about demand and supply, but when it comes to applying these concepts in real life, schools often respond with 'out of syllabus.'

There are three distinct ways to find your next job: through a referral, by actively applying to advertised job posts, or by getting discovered on various online platforms. There's a lot you can do to improve your chances.

Degrees

Goal-Based Degree Planning

You only live once, and you owe it to yourself to spend your life doing what you love. Since a significant part of life involves earning a living, imagine finding yourself in an industry misaligned with your life goals. The sooner you mitigate this risk, the happier you'll be in your career. Ideally, degree planning should start in high school, but unless you’re exceptionally fortunate, your school might only offer psychometric or aptitude tests that reveal less than they conceal

Before deciding on the degree you wish to pursue, it's essential to do some research by working backward. What are your life goals? Which industries align best with them? Which degrees will help you excel in those industries? And finally, which are the best universities offering those degrees that will accept you?

Courses

Embracing Recent Advances

It’s unfair to blame schools for not equipping us with what matters most today. Take AI, for instance—how could schools have predicted its current impact? Schools focus on history, not the future. However, the brutal reality is that technological advances can be a double-edged sword. Those who embrace them thrive, while others are left behind.

Whether its the basics of using tools like ChatGPT or whether its about leveraging AI for functions like Marketing, Accounts, HR or whether its about developing powerful apps using contemporary APIs, there's a lot you can learn quickly
