QUOTES
06:38 "I feel the workforce is adapting to the use of modern technologies, but also to supply the demand of modern and present-day globalization."
07:11 "My best advice are three words: network, network, and more network. You want to use your time to make your connections and new connections via LinkedIn or through referrals."
13:09 "Why is branding important as an employee or employer? In my definition, it's because it really defines your talent actions. In other words, what you do and, of course, the talents around it."
20:36 "One thing that it taught employers about what's currently happening is the access. Having access to have better communication to really connect with your team virtually, but also having that balance."
23:37 "That intern, because you gave them a chance, that intern will now gain solid experience in that particular field. So I always say that balance is a good balance because not only is the business winning, but the intern as well."
