There’s A New Resume In Town

Is Social Media The New Cardboard Sign?
Is Social Media The New Cardboard Sign?

How updated is your resume?

Even if your resume is updated, it’s outdated. No, seriously.

Social media is the new resume. If you’re not using blogs, LinkedIn, Twitter, You Tube and the other emerging social media channels to promote your personal brand, you are being left behind.

Agree or disagree, it doesn’t matter.  What matters is getting the job.

What are your chances if you follow the old and outdated rules?

New Sheriff In Town?

No, not a new Sheriff.

A new question.

There is power is simplicity.

Power in focus.

Power in discipline.

Anyone can harness it it.

But it requires an uncommon commitment.

And one more secret ingredient.

And everyone should know what it is without having to think too long or too hard.

But they don’t.

Pity.

Reading Is Following

Google results for:

Leadership = 126 million

Leadership books = 56.5 million

Leadership articles = 55.4 million

Leadership blogs = 37.5 million

How do we get our collective arms around this whole notion of leadership?

What is it exactly?

And why are there a gazillion results?

Anyone else think like this?

All I know is that as of yesterday, March 31, I’ve written 1,950 blog posts.

It seemed that maybe I should read less and write more.

Isn’t leadership about leading and not following?

Reading is following.

Writing is not.
