 ANNE VANDERMEY: You're looking for a job, and you want to work at one of the 100 best companies to work for. Here are the five best tips that we got from recruiters at those companies. One company said 12 hours. One company said right away. Probably the most we heard was 48 hours, but the vast majority wanted email response within 24 hours. Research the culture of the company. Wearing a tailored suit to a tech startup might be as bad as wearing a hoodie to a law firm. You just have to know what to expect and kind of dress accordingly. Don't say bad things about your last employer. This is something it seems like people see again and again. When somebody is saying bad things about the company they just worked for, there's nothing stopping that employee from then going on to say terrible things about them. One thing these recruiters did not want to see is potential candidates talking about compensation and benefits too early in the process. They wanted to hear about how passionate the candidate was, and they wanted the candidate to maybe kind of understand that details about salary and benefits might be hashed out further along in the interview process. One thing we heard again and again from recruiters at these companies is that candidates should be nice to everyone. At Baird, which famously has a no assholes policy, they ask the receptionist what they thought of the candidate. And if the candidate was mean to the receptionist, that person is not hired.

[MUSIC PLAYING] SUSIE GHARIB: Your personal journey to the president's job was somewhat unconventional. You started out as an intern on the floor. You broke off at some point to go to culinary school. You worked for a while at the NASDAQ, which is arch competitor to the NYSE. How do you use your story to mentor young women and also men? STACEY CUNNINGHAM: Well, I think it's important to recognize your career doesn't need to be linear, and you're limiting yourself if you think you have to go climb a ladder. It's not about climbing a ladder, and it's not about focusing on what job you executed. It's about what skills you have. And so I think anything that you do, whether it's working in a kitchen, working on a trading floor, running a household, any job that you have is preparing you for the next job. And that's what I think is really important for people, and that's what I tell young girls and men when they come out of school is focus on your skills and making yourself adaptable. If you can learn how to communicate effectively, how to work on a team effectively, how to collaborate, how to problem solve, how to think in an analytical way, you can go do anything.
