My brand was always going to be based on my personality. I didn't want people hiring me for what I said. I wanted them hiring me for who I am.
The biggest challenge is to build the team and start the company, while hiring people, raising money, building a brand which has no history, all at the same time. You're doing a lot of things that in an established company are already done.
One classic mistake is when people give the impression that they just want a job, not this job or this company in particular. From a hiring manager's perspective, you're looking for someone who is excited about this role or this company.
The merit of originality is not novelty; it is sincerity. The believing man is the original man; whatsoever he believes, he believes it for himself, not for another.
I believe Larry Page is moving Google from an advertising-based company to a commerce-based company.
For the most part I pick movies based on the merit of the script, and the merit of the script only.
I judge people based on merit, on personality.
There can be no return to prosperity while the government (of Ontario) believes that taking money from the people who have earned it and giving it away to the people who haven't, in exchange for their votes and regardless of merit, is the essence of fairness.
[We need] to choose immigrants based on merit. Merit, skill, and proficiency. Doesn't that sound nice? And to establish new immigration controls to boost wages and to ensure that open jobs are offered to American workers first.
I do think that we need more of a balance between merit-based and familial-based immigration.
I like hiring people based on a feeling - this person gets it - rather than what they've done in the past.
Hiring people is an art, not a science, and resumes can't tell you whether someone will fit into a company's culture.
Rarely does a candidate think ahead and take the time to understand what the hiring company's priorities are, and then carefully presents himself as a 'solution' to the company's existing gaps/needs.
Hiring people to write code to sell is not the same as hiring people to design and build durable, usable, dependable software.
Our modern democratic ideal is based on the hope that inequalities will be based on merit more than inheritance or luck.
We are not anti-immigration. We are against chain migration, except for the nuclear family. We want a merit-based system that is really based on economic needs.
