PLN 13

In Jonathan Rosenberg’s “Our Googley advice to a Student” Google is stating what they want in an employee/student and what are a student’s best traits so it must be good advice.  One of the most important things that they kept talking about is being a non routine problem solver. This is important to Google because they feel that it is a huge advantage to any company to be able to solve unordinary problems in an acceptable time. They identify a non routine problem solver by looking for a person with five specific traits. The five traits are analytical reasoning, communication skills, a willingness to experiment, a team player, passion, and leadership. Google states that many other companies and governments desire the same type of employee that they do.  This will affect education because education will feel pressured to try to teach these skills to children.  The article also indicates that this type of employee usually has challenged themselves by taking higher level thinking classes in core subjects. This will affect the world because if more people were like this then the worlds business and governments would be much more affective then they are today. This can affect me but only if I choose to allow it.  If I do listen and actively try to improve my thinking, the chances of me being successful will grow exponentially.
