Some skills to remember when starting our careers in the workforce of the business world.

I get ‘used’ a lot. I understand why. The people who use me are under a lot of pressure. Their business growth is insane but there’s a limited pool of senior professionals. The space industry requires individuals with a rare blend of skills in advanced technology, innovation, and strategic thinking. To effectively recruit senior talent in the space industry, companies should focus on targeted strategies. This includes: -Headhunting experienced professionals from related high-tech fields -Offering competitive compensation and unique benefits aligned with the challenges and prestige of space projects. -Networking through industry conferences and leveraging professional associations can be key in attracting seasoned experts. Additionally, companies should emphasize their commitment to innovation and the pivotal role senior talent plays in shaping the future of space exploration, aligning with the aspirational goals of these experienced professionals.

Given the scale of our organization (8,000+ employees and partners), many are surprised to hear about the pace at which we move. For example, last week our CEO had questions about our field operations and how we better connect the field to the field support center...so, we had a pulsing survey out to thousands of people the same day and terrific insights to discuss. There was no deliberating over ideal timing, the perfect questionnaire or any inconsequential details. We moved with purpose and were immediately better off for it.    This is just one example, but the bias to action permeates throughout the departments here. It’s not for everybody, and that’s very much OK. In my experience, there are people who seek comfort in their place of employment: fully predictable days and a moderate work pace are perfect for some people.    As we continue to build our organization, we will signal to the world that our size does not overshadow the entrepreneurial spirit on which this company was built. For the benefit of prospective employees and the success of the business, that aspect of our culture should be abundantly clear.
