Quotes:
“Competencies are not skills—because there’s movement about skill-based hiring. . . . But [the skill] depends on the context. It’s the context [in which the skill is used] that matters. That’s competency.”
“Resumes and [the current] application process were invented a long, long time ago. I want my kids to grow up to say, ‘Resume: are people still using those?’ ”**Contact:**Maya's LinkedIn)David's LinkedIn)****Production by Affogato Media)Podcast Manger: Karissa Harris)
