Editor's Notes
- #4 Ten years ago the Nokia 1600 was the best selling mobile phone.
- #5 Now you can order more detergent from Amazon without ever opening a laptop or using your phone
- #6 Google yourself.
- #7 Have someone else look at your online self and give you tough-love feedback.
- #8 The friends you interact with online influence the language you use, the photos you post and the tone of your conversations.
- #9 Look at your feeds as a snapshot. Other people aren’t going to scroll endlessly to find that week where you were really witty and smart. What if they looked at your Twitter feed or Facebook feed right now? Are you last 20 posts bashing a political candidate they may like?
- #10 That doesn’t mean you speak at 100 events a year, it means your peer group know of you as a leader. You don’t need a certain title to be a leader - but you do need to stand out in front, and inspire people to follow you. That can happen in many ways, but you have to make a real dent. By “dent”, I mean - you have to be noticed. Maybe you have your graphic design stuff featured on Dribble or your code is popular on Github or your posts on Medium get a zillion comments. People respect your work.
- #11 Sally Hogshead’s The Fascination Advantage
- #12 Embrace your flaws and weaknesses.
- #13 Make your values known so companies will know if you’re a good fit.
- #14 Make your values known so companies will know if you’re a good fit.
- #15 Embrace your flaws and weaknesses.
- #16 Karma.
- #17 Thank people when they recommend you, but don’t be afraid to ask them to tweak it slightly – but don’t be a jerk about it.
- #18 Write amazing recommendations that actually help hiring managers understand the other person. Always aim to be the best recommendation that person has.
- #19 Decide what you want to be known for
- #20 Your friends want to help you because they’ll feel like a big shot if they help you land a job.
- #21 Those resumes you’re sending out are a long-shot!
- #22 Networking doesn’t mean dressing up in uncomfortable shoes and handing out business cards while drinking warm wine.
- #23 Manoush Zomorodi’s Note to Self podcast from 2015 with Sherry Turkle. Note to Self is “the tech show about being human”
- #24 CEO of a growing local company.
