How Important Are Resumes? And MBAs?
March 11, 2008
PS sent this comment from Warren Buffet:
"Susan came to Borsheims 25 years ago as a $4-an-hour
saleswoman. Though she lacked a managerial background, I did not hesitate
to make her CEO in 1994. She's smart, she loves the business, and she loves
her associates. That beats having an MBA degree any time...Charlie and I
are not big fans of resumes. Instead, we focus on brains, passion and
integrity. Another of our great managers is Cathy Baron Tamraz, who has
significantly increased Business Wire's earnings since we purchased it early in
2006. She is an owner's dream. It is positively dangerous to stand between
Cathy and a business prospect. Cathy, it should be noted, began her career
as a cab driver."
