We are thrilled to see our own @Possibilian in HBR! This great piece is on the role of the Chief Innovation Officer. If you're hiring a CIO - how do you know what kind you need? How can you tell who is qualified?

The most important consideration in early jobs isn't passion or status. It's learning.

Take the role where you expect to gain the most knowledge and skills from the work. Pick the place where you expect to gain the most valuable insights from mentors and peers.
