Summary: If your internship company left you in the lobby for 4 hours on your first day would you still be there? Well this happened to Jay Hammonds and let me tell you his 4 hour wait helped turn him into an award winning technologist. On this episode of Black Tech Unplugged, Jay Hammonds, Executive Support Engineering Team at Facebook, talks about how he went from the guy who had to leave college after the first quarter of his freshmen year to the man bringing in over 400 diverse interns to Facebook (via Year Up). Listen to episode 042 of the podcast to hear how Jay’s college guidance counselor led him to the tech industry, how even as an introvert you can be ambitious and fearless, and Jay’s top 6 (you’ll understand when you listen to the episode).
