Catapult Leaders: Top Talent for Top Companies

John Peoples Reveals 10 Ways Black College Students Can GET GREAT JOBS in Corporate America. Catapult Leaders. Epi. 47
In my role with Catapult Leaders, I get the opportunity to speak with highly accomplished professionals each week.
Lots of authentic conversations. Lots of incredible tips. Lots of wisdom from those who are in the arena and are winning.

Today, I am fortunate to bring to you a great conversation I had with John C. Peoples. I've known John since the beginning of his corporate career. I could tell right away, from the moment I met him, that he was an amazing talent and would be going places. John went on to become president & general manager of SC Johnson in Canada. He was also a Vice President of Canada, Latin America, and Western Europe for Merck. (See more about John here.)
I shot some really important questions at John for this interview. These were questions that I was given in a survey conducted among more than 500 Black students in college.
My questions included, "What do employers look for most when they're trying to hire for entry-level positions?" and "What were the one or two most impactful things that help you get that first great job?"
John's answers were fire! Listen in and let me know what you think.
Let's go!
