Memorable Ideas for Today

Things I've read or heard today that I find useful (both from Jay Conrad Levinson's Guerilla Marketing for Job Hunters):

" The 3 R's of Job Interviewing: Research, Relevancy, and Resiliency"

• Research: Figure out what you are selling (and what you have to sell), to whom and where
  
• Relevancy: How can you make money, save money, increase efficiencies for a given employer?
  
• Resiliency: How able are you to spring back from disappointment and keep moving forward?
  

"The Five Skills Employers Buy"

• Leadership - communicating personal commitment and drive through words and actions
• Communication - ability to articulate a clear vision aloud and in writing
• Bias toward Action - ability to ask hard quesitions and make tough decisions with limited or imperfect information
• Passion: "fire in the belly," spark
• Cultural compatibility: willingess to trust and share information
