Gerson Lehrman Group (GLG)

Tomorrow June 2nd, 2017 the web client programming class is going to the Gerson Lehrman Group Incorporation at 60 East and 42nd Street third floor to be specific. I personally am looking forward to this trip because I have lately been having a lot of problems trying to figure out what it is that I want to pursuit as a career. I am debating between what is graphic design and accounting which in my opinion are two complete different things and so this trip will answer my questions to what the business fields are really into. I overall also want to learn what the GLG really is, what they do and how they do it because according to their website they are a major corporation that have helped a lot throughout the world and not only that but offers a variety of jobs as well. I would definitely learn a lot from others stories and how they have outcome various obstacles and also be reminded that it is okay to not focus on a single career but even better to go ahead and discover.

After the trip I definitely learned a lot of things within that the most important things about what takes for someone to eventually be successful during an interview which is specially being curious. I learned that before you even go and ask for an application you should obviously still do your research and find out what the environment is like, how to whole company started, and specially what is it made of like what they do, how they do it and why. It is important that you have a little bit of previous knowledge to impress the person interviewing you but if you don't it is not a good thing as long as you ask all the questions you have during the interview. I learned a lot of some workers and know that they not only did not know about GLG but also that there is no way they regret having that opportunity. The environment at GLG is obviously friendly. The structure just gives it a lot more of a comfortable feeling and while we were on the tour we just felt welcomed. What is liked the most was the fact that everyone gets their own space when they want to be alone or get to share the area with someone else in case they want to have company. I would definitely love to work on such an open space because just like the CEO mentioned he created the place by thinking about how all of his workers would feel and i think it is obvious because he said that he does not believe in personalization at all and well that is why so many people find this place interesting and appealing. I definitely learned that giving up is not an option, that no question is dumb and that no matter coffee is always a good choice.
