Study tip: organize like an athlete

I’ve heard the same thing from a few executive types: they like hiring NCAA athletes. Not because there’s something magical about jocks, but because they know that college athletes already “have the time-management skills down.” I looked it up, and indeed there’s a lot written about the advantage to hiring college athletes.

You may not play sports in college, but you can still work on the same skills and traits that make them successful. According to this article in Fast Company, athletes are good employees because:

·      They’re achievement oriented

·      They’re resilient

·      They’re strong communicators

·      They’re team oriented

·      They manage time well
