eBook Release: What I Know About Getting A Job
I’ve been a member of Brazen Careerist (since January 2009 to be exact) for some time now – I’ve seen it go through many transitions, updates and releases. I totally support the network, the community and know many people who work there.
So naturally, when I heard on July 20th, my fellow blogging friend, Rich DeMatteo helped to launch and release an eBook in coordination with Brazen Careerist, I was stoked.
“What I Know About Getting A Job?” is free and you can download it here. The eBook is filled with the top digital HR influencers compiling their stories, experiences and beliefs.
I really love how the eBook is manageable, the length is just right – it’s 21 pages but those 21 pages are true and relevant. Each page and story is interesting and that is saying a lot (versus so many eBook’s that are 100+ pages and drag on and on…)
Here are some snippets that stood out to me:
The key is to build a network before you need a job. If you wait until you’re looking, you’re already behind the curve. -Chris Ferdinandi
A high IQ doesn’t compensate for low EQ. Your Emotional Quotient–your willingness and ability to relate and connect–is important to your company and your career. -Steve Roesler
Unfortunately, the trick to getting a job is actually surviving the job search and realizing that it’s just a job. If your life lacks meaning, a cubicle and a tacky ‘business casual’ wardrobe from the local mall won’t add depth and value to your life. -Lori Ruettimann
The best thing you can do for your career after your education is to get a strong set of mentors. -Penelope Trunk
Do yourself a favor (job searching or not) download this eBook, print it out, keep it by your bed for late night reading inspiration and/or bookmark it for safe keeping. It’s worth it.
