Your answer points to the kind of problems you can solve. They give you some measure of confidence and hope.</span></p><div><br /></div><div><h4 style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 1.5rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">Exercise: Gold Rush</h4><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"></p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">TO FIND A GOLD RUSH, DON'T THINK DIFFERENT, THINK BORING</span></p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">A lot of people get stuck in the search for a "big idea." But as you saw in Chapter 5, you don't necessarily need a big idea to make big profits. You need a helpful idea. Consider the guy who invented the cupholder. Granted, it's not as sexy as making the latest smartphone model. But if you're driving along with a beverage, that cupholder sure comes in handy.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Consider as well some of the examples you've seen in this chapter. Harry Campbell, the ride-share guy, provided profitable tips to new drivers seeking to be more effective. Mike Hallatt founded Pirate Joe's in Canada to import specialty groceries that he knew there was a market for. Again, being helpful is the highest value.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">These qualities are good signs of a potential gold rush:</p><ul style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">A big, untapped market</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">A new technology or advancement that a lot of people don't know how to use or participate in</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Confusion or uncertainty over how to participate in the new thing</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Something people want but can't get ("illegal" groceries from across the border)</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Something that is perceived as scarce or involves FOMO (the fear of missing out)</li></ul><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Remember, always strive to meet needs and solve problems.

When I saw the list of materials, I was impressed. "There's so much there!" I said. But that was actually a problem: there was too much there, which is probably why the initial response from her, audience was okay but not great. Instead of feeling inspired, people felt-overwhelmed.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">My friend revised the course to focus on a more specific issue: helping business owners improve cash flow. This was better! She was much more successful with the revised offer directed at one specific problem.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">3.

Companies want to know you are proactive, not desperate. For your own sanity, make sure that the project you take on demonstrates your skill and takes under five hours to complete.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Ground the project in a hard skill. This is not the time to demonstrate your leadership abilities. This exercise works only if you ground the project in a hard skill that the company needs and that is related to the job the company is hiring for. Do you want to work as a marketing manager? Run one Facebook ad, and show the firm the different tests, results, and methods you used to optimize the traffic. If you want to work in human resources, choose an open position and send the firm a lead list of candidates that you sourced, with an explanation of how you chose them, explaining why you want to do this work in-house.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Make sure you pick something you know you can do well. If you are leading with your work, you have to be good. This is not the time to practice learning something new. You will be judged based on what you produce, so make sure it is relevant and up to the company's standards.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Send an e-mail to the CEO or a high-level employee telling what you did and that you are committed to working with the company. Adapt a version of the e-mail that will get you the job (184).</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Don't expect a response. Read the chapter on creating a job search spreadsheet (170). A company doesn't owe you a response no matter how much work you put in. The more preparation and actual work you put in, the easier it is to forget this fact and expect the company to hire you. ...</li></ol><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">"5O WAYS TO GET A JOB", page.210</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></p>Kyaw Kyaw Nainghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15840186128839680043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037445499902105182.post-45927259425207841722022-02-01T01:14:00.003-05:002022-05-12T04:35:15.563-04:00A Job Search Tip: Solving Problems<p> <span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"" style="background-color: #fafafe; color: #212529; font-size: 16px;">Solving problems show that you care, that you have initiative and leadership.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: #fafafe; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 1.5rem;">Exercise: Solving problems is a short-cut!</span></p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"></p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">Help Solve Problems</span></p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Anyone can drop a complaint into the metaphorical suggestion box, but the mark of a truly brilliant employee is coming up with solutions to those problems. Becoming a problem solver shows that you care --- not only about your own career, but also about the long-term health of the entire business. And don't sit back and wait for problems to find you; even if there aren't big crises staring you in the face, there's always something that could be done better or more efficiently, in every workplace.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Maybe in your role as a project manager, for example, you spend a huge portion of your day documenting what you did on each project, which is limiting your ability to make much progress on the project itself. And you know this doesn't only affect you; you've heard similar complaints from the rest of your team.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">It would be easy to bring up the problem to your boss and wait for him or her to come up with a solution. But it would be a true sign of leadership to not only bring up the issue, but also present a solution --- like an idea for templates that would significantly cut down on the time you spend documenting each project. Better yet, offer to create those templates yourself if your manager likes the idea!</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">If you're the one who identifies workplace challenges and suggests a way to fix them, you won't only make your life easier; you'll prove to your boss that you're ready to solve the bigger and thornier problems that fall to a manager or leader.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">"THE NEW RULES OF WORK", page. 302</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">So, what problems can you see to solve right now?</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></p>Kyaw Kyaw Nainghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15840186128839680043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037445499902105182.post-44187449324646884362022-01-26T01:12:00.002-05:002022-05-12T04:35:58.344-04:00Stop "Job Search."

It's a system that looks fine on the outside; but from the inside, it is slowly killing souls, costing money and wasting time. Like a devil with a winning smile dressed up in a $2,000 suit with not a pointed horn in sight.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">As anyone who's been through it already knows, when a person sits down at the computer and starts tossing resumes out into cyberspace, stands in line and fills out applications, pays people to fashion a resume that must surely be better because it's paid for --- most of the time, nothing happens.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Watch the terror-stricken eyes of a person reading job ads as she slowly realizes, "Wait!

You can become an insider and reap richer fruits.</span></p><p><br /></p><h4 style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 1.5rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">Exercise: Communitize</h4><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"></p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">We'll say good-bye to what used to be called networking right now.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Simply by turning "community" into an action verb, you aren't just going to a network lunch and standing in the corner talking to competitors about how no one has jobs. You aren't following a script of conversation starters. You don't join every single online networking site, only to get bombarded by e-mails that don't apply to your search at all.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">When you communitize, you become woven into the fabric of a community --- any community. Because communities have needs and needs are springboards to work.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">The action in communitizing comes from being able to provide an answer to the question: if I were part of this community, what need could I fill?</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">When you communitize, you look for the needs of a community from the inside. Not from the outside like a networker. In the needs of a community as seen from an insider's perspective, you find clues to finding work. The Communitizing Principle stands on the shoulders of the groundbreaking work of Bob Beaudine's book, "The Power of Who."...</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">....................................</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Communitize. It's a word we made up here, simply by turning community into a verb. Communitizing is not networking. It is mot going to a network lunch and standing in the corner talking to competitors about how no one has jobs. Networking all too often has a one-dimensional quality. "We are here to get jobs. That's it!"</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">In contrast, communitizing is multidimensional. As a member of a community, actively participating in the life of the community, your actions are multidimensional. You directly participate in working community challenges through to completion. You celebrate community joys. You interact with communities connected to your own. When one communitizes, one becomes woven into the fabric of a community --- any community. Communitize is an action verb.</p><h5 style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 1.25rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">COMMUNITIZE AND YOU'LL FIND NEEDS</h5><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">The more embedded in a community you become, the more you see needs. As we've said, needs, not job postings on the Internet, are what prompts work. In this section, well explore more deeply how to find needs.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Want to find work when there are no jobs? Stop looking for the jobs! Look for the needs.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Often, needs start out as being abstract. More like ideas. Needs like safety, healing, power, communication, or organization. But the more work you do within a community --- the more you communitize --- the more down-to-earth and real the needs become.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">You start to see community needs in terms of the concrete stuff of everyday life. That stuff we all need to touch, hold in our hands, hear, smell, and get done.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Working from the inside of the community to your fullest, you are in the absolute best position to find those needs and connect them to work for you. You are embedded in the community.

You cannot will or wish your fears away. See your fears in multi-colors and in 3-D. And measure up to the heroes and idols you have been worshipping.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: #fafafe; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 1.5rem;">Exercise: Uncovering Emotions</span></p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"></p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">We cannot always identify our emotions directly. Then we need to invite our on-conscious to participate!</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">In the early days of my career, I provided talking therapies to my clients. Most of my work was within what you'd traditionally think of as therapy, talking to people about how they felt and their experiences, and using psychological explanations, diagnoses, labels and cognitive models to support the work. And I still find these useful today. But I have realized there's another well of resources available to us in finding real, sustainable solutions for dealing with emotions. This is using the wisdom of your own body and mind, especially your imagination.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Over years of coaching and counselling conversations, I've found going beyond reason and rationality, tapping into the imagination, to be a powerful complement to traditional talking therapies. The imagination gives us little nuggets of wisdom that come in the form of images and stories about what is going on for us. They can add useful layers to our understanding, give us some clues about what is hiding inside. So as much as you want to 'fix' your feelings and transform immediately, sometimes giving a little bit of space to the imagination is useful.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Bringing images into play might take a little longer than using labels or words to try to see and describe your fear. But it is also much richer and offers us many more insights. It's the kind of 'seeing' that you add to bit by bit, the way a piece of art gets created, in layers. And I've found that slower change with these more vivid insights is better, the kind of change that lasts.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Below, I'm going to explain what using images looks like, and the stories in chapters 14 to 20 will bring it to life for you too. There is no work I do now that doesn't have this at the root of it.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">You might associate your imagination with creating fear - the imagination running wild, an overactive imagination. Which might explain why it's been ignored or underused. But it's equally powerful as a way of understanding. As author Deepak Chopra wrote, 'The best use of imagination is creativity. The worst use of imagination is anxiety.'</p><hr style="background-color: #fafafe; border-bottom: 0px; border-image: initial; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: content-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; height: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem; overflow: visible;" /><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Fear is an energy, and if we try to use only words to articulate it, it can lose some of what we want to express, like pouring it into a jar that is too small: a lot of the meaning will run down the sides. The words we might choose often come from other people too, whereas images are more likely to be just your own.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">When you use an image, it's vivid and comes from your soul. It lets you get a little closer to the experience of fear itself, nestled in your unconscious.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">"Fear Less : How to Win at Life Without Losing Yourself"</p><hr style="background-color: #fafafe; border-bottom: 0px; border-image: initial; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: content-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; height: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem; overflow: visible;" /><h5 style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 1.25rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">Unfair Hero-worship</h5><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">More specifically, as entrepreneurs in the tech industry, believing in the tech genius is a death sentence to our dreams. By believing, we are dismissing ourselves. Every token of credit, every gesture of goodwill, and every unit of measurement that we transfer over to the tech genius is a transaction on a balance sheet. It's a credit on their side, but it's also a debit on our side.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">In believing, we entrepreneurs seek the protagonist of our stories outside of ourselves. We are literally outsourcing our own founding myth. Instead of our hands on the clay, we motion for another to come in and perform a work of wonder. Instead of fiddling on the keys and working the melody out, trying every possible combination, we forge our very own Mozart letter. We eat a meal, take a walk, and wait around for a bolt from the blue to overtake us. We're waiting for Odin's fire to fall from the sky and entrance us with power. It's a farce -- a travesty.

Given any problem, we're schooled to attack it head-on, ignoring the context and often the possible repercussions of our actions. Instead, Ramo argues, we should take several steps backward, view every problem as the manifestation of numerous intersecting factors, and look for indirect ways to prod the system to make an end run around the problem.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">For instance, Ramo cites the work of General Aharon Farkash, Israel's most successful leader of military intelligence, who found that head-on attacks against insurgents invariably led to failure and that asking the usual questions would lead only to confusion. Rather than focus exclusively on the movement of arms through Iranian border crossings, for example, Farkash asked his agents to study the most popular show on Iranian TV to understand what was new in their adversaries' thinking. "Focus on things that move and change," Farkash insisted. Ramo sees that injunction as essential for a successful response to the challenges of the future.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">"The Age of the Unthinkable"</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Source: https://malwarwickonbooks.com/resiliency/</p><hr style="background-color: #fafafe; border-bottom: 0px; border-image: initial; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: content-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; height: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem; overflow: visible;" /><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">So, shortly after coming into office, Farkash started directing his spies to look at details that his predecessors had thought irrelevant or regarded as second-order concerns: Were people out shopping in Beirut (a sign of the Lebanese economy's health)? What was intellectual life like on the streets of Damascus? How were Iraqi refugees inside Syria settling in? What interested Farkash about such inquiries is that they were new and changing, very different from the "where are the Syrian tanks" questions he had been told he should ask.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Sometimes he would deliberately put some stress on his enemies just to see what he could learn, and not just in Syria. A friend told me about Farkash's idea for blowing up meaningless crates going to Iran, for instance, or shuffling around safe houses, simply to see what would happen. Actions like this might appear to be irrelevant, but they allowed him to watch his enemies react.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">"The Age of the Unthinkable"</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Source:https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=UXs4AQAAQBAI</p>Kyaw Kyaw Nainghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15840186128839680043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037445499902105182.post-72647389794909294482021-12-19T01:08:00.006-05:002022-05-12T04:39:57.849-04:00Uncover Your Skills and Aspirations by Using Your Nonconscious <p> <span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"" style="background-color: #fafafe; color: #212529; font-size: 16px;">When you write fiction, you unlock some powerful parts of your brain.

It helps us create room for careers and opportunities that we wouldn't see possible in any sort of traditional planning exercise. How you react to that fiction can be just as telling as the story itself. It can enable you to take a leap of faith, which can be hard to do when you're examining yourself. It is indulgent, necessary, and sometimes exactly what you need when you feel stuck in life or limited by what you have done before.</p><h5 style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 1.25rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">Write Fiction About Yourself</h5><ol style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Begin by making a list of real milestones and experiences from your life.

Choose things you have never done. Things that excite you. Challenge yourself to imagine something completely fictitious, not just a path you didn't take.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Now comes the creative part. Consider all of these points as a whole and write three alternative stories of your life. Omit bullet points that are true or add in fake ones to build a completely different bio, one you would have never previously considered. Write a future biography for each story line. What did this fictional character end up doing? How did this character achieve his or her goals?</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">As you look at these alternative biographies, consider what it would mean to actually pursue these paths. What skill would you have to learn? What city would you have to move to? How could the current realities of your life actually help you move into one of these fictional futures? What would you have to let go of? What would this new path enable or change?</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Reflect on the implications of these stories and questions on your own life.</li></ol><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">50 Ways to Get a Job, page. 38-39</p><h5 style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 1.25rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">Paths not taken</h5><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />travelled by, And that has made all the difference.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Robert Frost, Mountain Interval</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Think of the most important steps, turning points and decisions in your life to date.

You might think you know what your greatest strengths and attributes are as a professional, but do you, really?</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">It can be challenging to objectively identify your own strengths and personality traits, but you can learn a lot about yourself by getting feed- back from the people who know you best.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">To start, choose eight to ten trusted friends, peers, and mentors and ask or email them the following questions:</p><ul style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">How would you describe me in three words?</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">If you had to introduce me to a new professional contact or colleague, what would you tell him or her about me?</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">What traits do you most admire or enjoy about me?</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">What makes me different from other people you've worked with in the past?</li></ul><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Listen and take notes. It can be helpful to do this with two different groups --- one made up of people who know you more intimately (such as close friends or family members) and one made up of more distant acquaintances (like former colleagues, mentors, professors, or bosses).</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Now look again at all the descriptions you gathered. What are the three to five descriptors that people seemed to agree upon? Circle those that seem like strengths, and underline those that could have a negative connotation, so you have a better sense of the whole picture you're working with.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Now in your own words, write down the five words or phrases that you agree are accurate (try to be as objective as possible!) and ...</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">"THE NEW RULES OF WORK", page. 68</p>Kyaw Kyaw Nainghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15840186128839680043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037445499902105182.post-36758115533848836912021-12-16T01:03:00.002-05:002022-05-12T04:41:39.973-04:00Skills You Can Use to Make Quick Money, Are Real<p> <span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"" style="background-color: #fafafe; color: #212529; font-size: 16px;">If you need to make some money very quickly, what would you do? Your answer points to your skills and abilities. Here are some more options.

But as you saw in Chapter 5, you don't necessarily need a big idea to make big profits. You need a helpful idea. Consider the guy who invented the cupholder. Granted, it's not as sexy as making the latest smartphone model. But if you're driving along with a beverage, that cupholder sure comes in handy.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Consider as well some of the examples you've seen in this chapter. Harry Campbell, the ride-share guy, provided profitable tips to new drivers seeking to be more effective. Mike Hallatt founded Pirate Joe's in Canada to import specialty groceries that he knew there was a market for. Again, being helpful is the highest value.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">These qualities are good signs of a potential gold rush:</p><ul style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">A big, untapped market</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">A new technology or advancement that a lot of people don't know how to use or participate in</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Confusion or uncertainty over how to participate in the new thing</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Something people want but can't get ("illegal" groceries from across the border)</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Something that is perceived as scarce or involves FOMO (the fear of missing out)</li></ul><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Remember, always strive to meet needs and solve problems.

You should value them as much as you would value a degree, diploma or certificate.<br /></span></p><h4 style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 1.5rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">Exercise: Skills to Count in</h4><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"></p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">How you can position volunteer work, unpaid extracurriculars, or self-taught skills. As we just spoke about in Step 2, all experience is legitimate, and you get to decide what's relevant. Just because you weren't on the payroll doesn't mean you don't get to 'count' what you learned or how you contributed. For the rest of your working life, your most valuable weapon will be the ability to understand and articulate why the experiences you had in one job are transferable to another. You get to start using that weapon right now, today.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">My first portfolio featured, almost exclusively, work that shouldn't count. I was trying to score a junior social media management job, and the person who ultimately became my boss asked me if I had any experience running social media accounts. 'I run my own Facebook page, actually; I said in our initial meeting. 'I mean, it's a really tiny project, it's just for my music. I use it to promote my gigs, tell people about my new recordings, stuff like that.'</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">To my amazement, he said that sounded great and wanted to see examples. I went home, screenshotted the best of those Facebook posts, and put them up online next to the few pieces of work that I had to show from my one 'legitimate' internship. I screenshotted a couple of posts from my Twitter and my SoundCloud that felt relevant, too.

If you could choose only one skill from this list, which skill energizes you most?</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Finally, think about a day at work when you were entirely absorbed in what you were doing, time passed quickly, and you went home feeling a 'buzz'. Find someone to talk to about that day, and ask them to make a list, while you are talking of all the skills you were using. Add any new skills to your list.</li></ol><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">How to Get a Job You Love, page.82-83</p>Kyaw Kyaw Nainghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15840186128839680043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037445499902105182.post-23934890469075402502021-12-15T00:56:00.001-05:002022-05-12T04:42:52.333-04:00Strengths for Jobs<p> <span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"" style="background-color: #fafafe; color: #212529; font-size: 16px;">If you know your signature strengths, your super powers, you will look, sound and feel like a winner to your future employers.</span></p><p><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"" style="background-color: #fafafe; color: #212529; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p><h4 style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 1.5rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">Exercise: Strengths</h4><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;"></p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">So, ask yourself the following questions and come up with a list of your top five to ten strengths:</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">What am I the best at?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />What do others say I'm good at?

Movies are promoted through trailers --- the whole plot condensed into 3 minutes. The skill clips exercise sends you back to the cutting room to create a condensed, all-action version of you.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">In the movie of your life, what are the key moments? Your best action scenes are the ones where you're doing things, getting results, interacting with people, starting or finishing projects.</p><h5 style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 1.25rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">Home movie rules for editing and composing your skill clips</h5><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">1. Zoom in as tight as possible --- avoid long sequences. One day is good. One hour is better. Keep it concise. Like a movie clip, it's got to convey a lot in a short space of time.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">2. Use slow motion --- reveal the action as it happens by thinking about what you did and how you did it.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">3. Use a good screenplay --- does this scene convey a message about skills, about overcoming obstacles?</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">4. Keep the star in shot --- make sure this scene is about the hero: you.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">5. Make sure the clip has a happy ending --- an achievement or a skill revelation.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Fix on one event. Start with an occasion when you felt a great sense of success or achievement. Picture your 'clip', and give it a title. Then ask yourself the following skill discovery questions:</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">What obstacles did | have to overcome?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />What did | have to do to achieve this?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />What was the task or challenge?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />How did | work with others?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />What planning did | need to do?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />What was my best moment?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />What skills did | see myself use?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />How did | surprise myself or others?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />What skills did others see me use?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />What did | do personally?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Some prompts for your skill clips:</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Think of times when you achieved something you are proud of. This doesn't need to be a work-related achievement. How did you do it? What difference did you make? Turn the event over in your mind until you see skills, particularly those you don't normally claim for yourself.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Now look at your achievements from your non-working life. Times in the past when you overcame the odds, did something that surprised you.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Think about work-related clips that demonstrate the full range of skills: things, people, information, concepts, etc.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Keep drawing up these skill clips, either alone or, even better, with a fellow career developer. If you show a series of movie clips from the work of famous film director Alfred Hitchcock, you see similarities of style and content.

This is the most competitive job market we've ever seen, but there are jobs out there, lots of them. They're still aren't enough jobs for everyone though, so it is no longer good enough for you to just be the most qualified. That's not who gets the job. And you probably already know that. The person who gets the job is the one who can find the job to begin with and then maneuver the job search process.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Finding and maneuvering to the offer stage are a Guerrilla Job Hunter's competitive advantage.</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">....</p><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">Your brand and marketing strategy will determine not only whether you get an interview but also where you fit in that band. If you market your skills as a commodity, you'll be lucky to land the job and you will be paid at the bottom end. However, if you market and present yourself as a "you-can't-do- without-me" solution to the employer, you will start near the top or over their salary band. Over the course of your lifetime earnings, this can easily amount to an extra $800,000 to $1 million in salary. Now you see why you need a personal branding strategy. Next, I show you how to create it.</p><hr style="background-color: #fafafe; border-bottom: 0px; border-image: initial; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: content-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; height: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem; overflow: visible;" /><h5 style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 1.25rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">You Are Changing the Rules</h5><p style="background-color: #fafafe; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 0px;">While ordinary job seekers are crying out, "Please give me a job!" your resume will convey a simpler, more appealing message: "Hiring me is like buying money at a discount."

text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">PART 1: Selection</h4><pre style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;">1. You select by reputation, looks and feels.
<br /></pre><pre style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;">2.You select by running a given code. These days you get about 3000-plus new math research papers every week.
In biology/medicine field, according Yancopolous(of Rengenron), 60 to 90 % research reports are either irrelevant or wrong!
<h3 style="text-align: left;">PART 2: Learning</h3>These great scientists disagree:</pre><pre style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;">1. I work on/with the paper : Feynman.
2. Pencil-paper simulation is the most painless method to learn algorithms: Donald Knuth
3. No scientist thinks in equations: Einstein.
4. After paralysis, Stephen Hawking worked even better without pencil and paper.: An American contemporary physicist with Hawking
5. With certain types of problems, once a student picks up paper to solve, he loses the ability to solve it : Edgar Dijkstra.
Both groups are right.
<br /></pre><pre style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;">(1) You must run the code on paper.
(2) But at certain spots, that will get you into trouble (just as Dijkstra warned.)
Then, you run it in your mind, especially the conditions, corner cases, edge cases.
REMEMBER the whole field is small. Technology moves super-slowly, as Steve Jobs kept saying.
So if you cannot learn an algorithm today, it means nothing.
<br /></pre><pre style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;">Learning it today or learning it 3 months later or 3 years later, makes ZERO difference.
These algorithms are invented or discovered 1 in every decade. You have time. </pre><pre style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></pre><pre style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></pre>Kyaw Kyaw Nainghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15840186128839680043noreply@blogger.com0
