Topic # 3:  What They Want...

Timing on Recording: @ 19:10---

• Do not put me in a box.
• Give me experiential learning.  (Not just book learning.)
• Eager to contribute - but let me know how what I am doing to contribute to the big picture.

  - Do not micromanage.  ("Do you not trust me?")
  - Give me feedback.
  - If what you say in the interview does not match my true experience, when on the job, I will leave.
