Noah is a great example of a ‘Digital Native’.  He is clearly not a younger version of us.  We need to rethink how we are going to attract and retain the best and brightest of Noah’s generation.  As Noah puts it, “The motherfuton SUN will be jealous of the heat I add to your site.”

Good luck in your job search Noah!
