Part 2/12:
Felix, the youngest participant, emphasizes the importance of shifting perspective when it comes to "experience." Many Gen Z candidates may feel discouraged by the emphasis on prior work history, but Felix suggests that experience isn't just traditional employment. Instead, any activity that demonstrates relevant skills counts—be it volunteering, leading student projects, or managing a club.
He advocates for articulating this experience effectively on résumés and during interviews. Instead of simply stating "studied computer science," a candidate could say, "Developed a web application using React and Flask that attracted 1,000 users." This approach highlights practical skills and tangible accomplishments, presenting a compelling narrative of capability rather than just academic background.
