Big news: The New York Times is now recruiting on Jopwell.

How I Ended Up In Tech By Chance
By Randolph Brown, Chief Technology Officer at Jopwell
We like to reinforce the idea that in order to be great at something, you have to practice it. But we rarely talk about how you need the privilege or luck of being in the right place at the right time to even find the thing you want to practice in the first place. We can no longer leave this sort of discovery to the off chance that a kid from East Orange gets a scholarship to a school where he meets the “right” people. http://buff.ly/29jyuJU

Coffee With: College Admissions Officer Megan Red Shirt-Shaw
By Jopwell
I think there’s this assumption that only stories about Native Americans deserve a Native perspective. I want to reinforce that we should have the opportunity to be experts and voices across other fields and issues as well. We are among today’s admission officers and activists and business players and scientists and educators and athletes. I want people everywhere to remember that we are contemporary citizens. http://buff.ly/28QQ9Gj

“It was historic and wonderful to see two women on stage embracing their power,” says Rhonesha Byng, Founder and CEO of Her Agenda about Oprah’s candid interview with The First Lady at The White House’s United State of Women Summit. “They are so authentic, comfortable with themselves, and present.

4 Steps To Assessing Cultural Fit Before You Get Hired
By Paula Edgar, Founder and Principal of PGE LLC
Before you accept the job offer or even enter negotiations, ask yourself: “Do you believe you will truly be able to learn, grow, and thrive as an employee there? Can you bring your authentic self to that work environment? Are you aligned with the characteristics, language, values, beliefs, and behaviors that represent the organization’s culture?” Most of us don’t fully know the answers to these questions right away. http://buff.ly/28VOz9a
