Creating the Career of Your Dreams Or Google-Karma
by: Margaret Stead
Using a combination of criterion hierarchy and objective elimination we strip
away the unmet needs that are your emotional holes and 'ready' you for career
and business success. We focus your career attention on a defining platform that
you can make uniquely your own.
It is simplicity itself and the truth is that you could do this for
yourself..... if you could coach yourself uncritically. And, there's the rub -
have you looked in the mirror lately and said "Gorgeous image - so love you?"
Once we've stripped you of baggage i.e. the negatives in your life - you will
find the space filling with seemingly boundless energy and enthusiasm and my job
will be simply be to channel. (I love this bit - where clients are so inspired
that they hardly need to meet up - like rocket chrysanthemums in the autumn
sky.)
A well-executed blog sets you apart as an expert in your field. But it is only
one promotional tool amongst many and before you can use one you have to ask
yourself the question. "If people were searching for me, what question would
they ask?"
''People who are more visible and have a reputation and stand for something do
better than people who are invisible," says Catherine Kaputa, branding
consultant and author of ''Blogging for Business Success." To be valued, you
have to be sure of who you are and what you want...only then can you select the
people you want to work with.
''Decision-makers respect Google-karma," writes Tim Bray, director of Web
technologies for Sun Microsystems - on his own blog, of course.
To escape the entry-level grind, you can either pay your dues, working up a
ladder forever, or you can establish yourself as an expert in the world by
launching a blog. High-level jobs are for people who specialise, and HR
recruiters look for specialists online.
More and more of my senior players are taking a role online to lead and make a
difference. After years of enjoying freebies, it is nice to feel as if you are
giving something back to the community, instead of 'Take, take, take.' Witness
the blogs that are increasingly written and read by business leaders.
Once upon a time there were senior managers in industry who asked their
secretaries to print out their emails for them - they are a dying breed and it
won't be long before the number of CEOs without a blog are in the minority. They
know that they have to communicate with their people and customers to survive.
