And you knew this was coming, right? The new collar candidates are folks like Faine, Burgess, Perez, and, in New York, Ray Rodriguez, who spent 11 years working his way up to assistant store manager at a big drugstore chain.I used to make $46,000 a year, and then it dropped down to 40.As you got promoted?Right. It was salary. And then they changed it to hourly.But that wasn't the worst of it.Oh, my God. When I walked in the bathroom one day, I seen feces everywhere.It's like, how do you get it on the wall? And then there's a couple of times where people passed out in the bathroom.Shooting up.Shooting up. And we got to call the paramedics.Rodriguez, supporting a family, was desperate to get out of retail.I used to always picture people with their 9:00-to-5:00 jobs, weekends off.They don't got to work nights. There was times where I would have to work overnights as well.And I was always like, oh, I wish I could have a job like that.Well, why couldn't you get out?Without a degree it seemed like everywhere else was the same.And then he heard of IBM's electronics lab apprenticeship, applied, got an interview. Were you scared?Yes, I was scared. This is a dream job. The 9:00 to 5:00 that I have been dreaming about for years and years, this is what I was looking for.So what was it about these folks that got them into IBM?Things like a growth mind-set, that willingness to constantly challenge and put themselves out there, take that little bit of a risk and build their skills on a very regular basis.
你知道这事会发生，对吧？新的领班候选人有费恩、伯吉斯、佩雷斯，还有纽约的雷・罗德里格斯，他花了11年的时间，在一家大型连锁药店当上了商店经理助理。过去我一年挣46000美元，后来降到了40000美元。因为你升职了？是的，工资的原因，他们把工资改成了按小时计算。但这还不是最糟糕的。哦，天哪，有一天我走进厕所时看到到处都是屎。我当时的反应是：你们是怎么把屎整到墙上的？还有几次有人在洗手间了昏倒了。打针吸毒呢吧。是的，伪君子。我们还得叫医护人员过来。为了养家糊口，罗德里格斯非常想退出零售行业。我以前总是想象那些朝九晚五工作、周六日休息的人。他们不用上夜班，有时我还得通宵工作。我总是想，嗯，我希望自己也能有一份朝九晚五的工作。那你为什么不辞职呢？没有学历的话好像到哪里都一样。然后他听说IBM的电子实验室招实习生，他就申请了，得到了面试机会。你当时害怕吗？是的，我害怕。这是一份理想的工作，多年来我一直梦想着的能有一份朝九晚五的工作，这就是我一直想要的。那么这些人是怎么进去IBM的呢？比如思维模式的成长，愿意不断挑战，勇于挑战，冒点险，定期培养技能。
