- 13. Image: “Interaction Institute for Social Change” by artist Angus Maguire” DEI remains in focus Employers are looking not only to build diverse teams, but also to onboard employees who are aligned with their goals. Being prepared to answer interview questions about diversity, equity, and inclusion will show that you’re just as committed to DEI as your future employer is. You should also do some research and ask thoughtful questions about a company’s programs or the make-up of their staff during your interview in order to determine whether they align with your values.
- 14. Most Internships go to current students. Consider delaying graduation for an additional internship – if you can. Cybersecurity students and career pivoters should be open to IT roles to gain experience and establish their careers. A Generation Delayed? The 2021 graduating college seniors will need work experience gained through internships to be able to compete for jobs. Grads will have to be more openminded when evaluating some of the jobs available. To be successful and get a career launched, grads will need to rely heavily on networking.

- 24. Automation & People Example: Interview Scheduling If a Recruiter has 10 job openings, that will require at least 20 final round interviews PLUS the average three rounds of interviews. This means that scheduling is for about 60 interviews. With conversations and creation of calendar items at least 15 minutes each, that’s easily 15 hours of scheduling coordination if all goes smoothly but sometimes it’s more time consuming. Now include the first-round phone screen which usually requires talking to at least 6 candidates per role which is scheduling and performing 60 phone screens (at minimum) which is at least 45 hours. And all before scheduling the other 20-60 interviews. Now consider that many corporate recruiters have closer to 25 job openings at any time. (That’s about 1,500 hours of coordination.)
