I subscribe to the newsletter put out by Weddle’s (a career consulting, research, and publishing firm), and today, a very good article caught my eye. This one is all about micro-careers. I’ve referred to the shiftin the past as “career-chunking”, but I like the term “micro-career” very much. The concept is simple — we will have [...]
I was so sad to hear the final toll on what the world had come to know as a mainstay of the American economy. I realize it isn’t truly a final bell. The company will restructure/reorg into a leaner, meaner, more competitive entity. But in the meantime thousands and thousands of workers, who [...]
Every political pundit, economist and writer is trying to capitalize on the economic challenges that the majority of Americans are facing today. There are articles and books on how to mitigate your risk, how to recapture your market losses, how to market yourself in one of the toughest employment periods in recent history. [...]
What is serendipity? It is a fortunate and unexpected discovery, especially when you were actually looking for something else. You know, driving down a country lane looking for a fruit stand and you come across a hideaway restaurant and enjoy a most delicious and unexpected meal. Serendipity is also the name of a [...]
Not since 1941 has California hit such a high unemployment number. If you had money, now would be a great time to buy up properties, stocks, artwork…if you had money. But in addition to the 11.2% on the dole rolls, there are another few percentage points of the unemployed who don’t show up [...]
The fact that I’m old enough to remember watching my friends lose homes in the mid-eighties is scary enough. But I wasn’t old enough then to understand global economic impact as I do now. There are currently about 25 million Americans out of work and looking for work. That is almost the population [...]

It is tough to blog consistently. Like any writer, you have days of inspiration, where you don’t have enough time to write all the things you want to say…and then…like any writer, you have days with total, unwavering, heart-rending writer’s block. It’s never that I don’t have something to say. I can always [...]
I’ve talked about Twitter before. Twitter is a very different kind of social network — it is based on micro-blogging (think 140 character text messages to say EVERYTHING that is on your mind…well at least in that moment. Twitter is a viral phenomenon (just as MySpace was when it first caught on) and [...]
Out of economic distress, comes ingenuity.
A Twitter tweet (from the brilliant Guy Kawasaki) brought this to my attention this morning. A very innovative business card idea from Lego, right out of the pages of American Girl “Just Like You” dolls. On an equally inventive note, next week I’m going to the launch [...] |
