Quotes:
“The job itself, you meet some really interesting people. You get to help people change their lives ultimately” – Chris Beaumont
“If you are just looking for a list, a list of requirements, one versus the other, um, AI will be able to do that soon. You probably can already. But when you’re looking at the cultural side of a business and, and someone’s character and how that personality fit works with the business culture, and the longevity of that, that’s what’s important.” – Chris Beaumont
“Within solutions engineering, different companies have different perceptions of what they are or what they do.” Chris Beaumont
“The one difference between a sales process and a job hunting process is in a sales process, you’re looking from all these different prospects that you’re getting, you’re looking to land 10, 20, 30, whereas a job process, job hunting, all you need is one” – Ramzi Marjaba
