Today's #AvinTheAM topic: "Recruiting Is Half the Battle" #AVtweeps

I don't think we recognize non-tech skills enough. We focus on certs and product knowledge, but not on how to be more effective in talking to customers or other trades. I don't really see much sales training in AV beyond reviewing spec sheets. #avintheam #avtweeps

Everything around support. We're still so immature with managed services, that you don't have to move very fast. #avintheam #avtweeps

Really depends on the role. Education outside of AV feels more meaningful today than ever. As you grow into a discipline, get into what makes it specialized. Learn ITIL, he a PMP, etc. #avintheam #avtweeps

Experience absolutely does if you're looking outside entry level roles. The job market is competitive.. Not that there are not av lot of jobs, but there a lot of bad jobs in AV. #avintheam #avtweeps

Bit of both? I think understanding the pressures your customers have might be more important. Tech has became cheap, but what it does and how you support it varies greatly. #avintheam #avtweeps

Q2 What matters more today: what you’ve done, what you know, or what you can learn next? Does experience still carry the same weight it once did when employers evaluate candidates? #AVinTheAm #AVtweeps

Q1 What does “staying relevant” actually mean in today’s AV industry? Is staying relevant more about keeping up with technology, or understanding how the industry is changing? #AVintheAm #AVtweeps

Shoveling out all the spam every morning that Microsoft misses. #avintheam

Nah, we all know having a million things to do might be good for your exposure or you're a helpful person in the industry, but it rarely means more money. #avintheam

Quoting. Mfg need to calm down with part numbers, scopes and contracts don't need 50 pages of marketing fluff. Keep it short and readable. #avintheam
