It is elitist and a rip off and the Internet has democratized access to information and communication skills to the point that paying $30K a year to get them is insane. Most people get jobs from their network, not from a career center. And social media is the fastest, most effective way for you to build a network.

That could also be out of necessity, but… 3) Be clear in communicating expectations. 2) My guess is that your company also see's big potential in you or they wouldn't have placed 'only 6' people reporting to you. Then confirm that they understand said criteria. 4) Be yourself.

For Generation Z, email is for diatribes and texting is for communication. Good managers will do their own recruiting by having their own great network.
