Will Barfield, President & CEO of Barfield Revenue Consulting, has been working in the recruiting industry for over 18 years, and his primary focus has been on staffing positions for fast-growing technology companies. Will is going to talk to the Duke University Statistical Science Masters program about several interesting topics, including:
- What is the state of the current employment marketplace overall, in the tech sector, and in Data Science specifically?
- What breadth of position titles does the field of Data Science encompass, and which ones are most desired by employers at the moment?
- What is the best way to utilize LinkedIn as a job seeker? How can you maximize the platform for effective career networking, and how do Recruiters actually leverage LinkedIn to identify talent?
- What’s the best way to find and pursue Internship opportunities?
- How can an applicant (for either an internship or a full-time position) best prepare for an interview? What are some “best practice” guidelines to help someone succeed in these all-important, one-on-one interactions?
