Facebook was founded in 2004. In 2017, Mark Zuckerberg expanded its mission to "Bring the world closer together." Then, in late 2021, Facebook was rebranded as Meta, and their full mission statement became "to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. That reflects that we can't do this ourselves, but only by empowering people to build communities and bring people together." Their six core values are, "Move fast, Focus on long-term impact, Build awesome things, Live in the future, Be direct and respect your colleagues, Meta - metamates - me."

Explore each of their core values in depth and determine which of their values you stand to contribute to the most. Examine your work history and where you've shined. For example, in the descriptions of their core values, they describe how their employees build and learn faster than anyone else, and act with urgency, removing barriers, "moving fast in one direction together as a company and as individuals. We emphasize long-term thinking rather than optimizing for near-term wins. We push ourselves to focus more on inspiring, in everything we do."

"I have friends and family all across the globe and I honestly wish I could step into a teleportation machine and hang out with them, to be in the same room as them at any time. Often, making a video call on your phone simply doesn't capture what it is like being there with them. But, the advancements Meta is making with the metaverse, to feel like you are actually in the same room with them, and then to goof around and hang out as your avatar, or whatever you want to be, is amazing. This is the future of connecting with others across the world, and I want to be part of advancing that future."
