JobQuest: LEVEL UP!

[athelind]

After the SRI debacle of 2008, I promised myself that I wouldn't count chickens on any future job offers. If something looked promising, I might let some people know, or drop some hints, but nothing that would jinx anything

Congrats!

Always believed that it is always easier to land a job if you know someone at the place you're applying for. Hope the year continues to bring you good fortune!

It is a maxim these days that it's who you know that matters most.

Might I suggest that you continue building your portfolio on LinkedIn. You may not be looking for work in other places, but it will help you move up in your current job. Down the road a few years, as other people have moved on, they may well be Important People in other companies that can help you find even better positions. Also, you may end up being an Important Person to help someone out.

I'm in a class now about Change. One thing that is very true these days is that change happens a lot, and it can happen quickly. Those that are best prepared for it handle it best.

Congrats on the new job, btw.

Absolutely, though I haven't discussed the class much in my journal.

We have two text books in the class that are excellent reading:

Managing Transitions (3rd edition) by William Bridges
The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
