Marketing Yourself, and Breaking Through
Seth's Blog: Needles, haystacks & magnetism points how rising above the noise is even more critical when it comes to finding a job. A resume is not enough. I agree. Reminds me of how I got my job (in the Mezazoic Era) at Microsoft. It was in response to an ad for a job for which I had no qualifications at all. The headline of the ad was "No One Wants to Be a Cog in a Machine." My response, along with my irrelevant resume, was "NO COG AM I" and an incredibly cheeky note about how although I had no qualifications for the job I could do 18 million even more important things. A testament to the company that they actually hired me (or an indictment, depending on your POV of my subsequent contribution ;-)Posted by johnza at June 8, 2004 09:58 AM
