I've been working
with a bunch of interns and twenty-somethings of late. As I pondered their
strengths and weaknesses - some want and need some direction and guidance,
others won't take it - I remembered my first hiring effort from many years ago.
It happened soon after my first management job as manager of capital budgeting
for a large automotive parts manufacturer. I was asked to be part of the company's
MBA recruitment effort and three days later was sent to a major university to
compete with the likes of IBM, Ford and P&G to recruit the best of the
bunch.
