Imagine that somewhere, a hiring manager faces a decision between two candidates for a remote position. One is a recent graduate: competent, motivated, and full of potential. The other has accumulated five years of experience and can hit the ground running. Not long ago, managers would regularly take a chance on the graduate, confident that the organization could turn raw potential into exceptional performance. The right team, strong mentors, and moments of informal learning can transform a promising newcomer into a high-performing professional.
