Counter-intuitive Advice Talk to People Who Cant Help You -

Counter-intuitive Advice Talk to People Who Cant Help You - You dont know enough to know what it is you dont know. Does that describe you?   I bet that it does about some things.   Hopefully, there are areas about which you can confidently say you know a lot, but for most of us, especially in our high tech, ever changing world, there is always more to learn.   How many are experts in everything?   I would challenge you to find someone who could give you good advice about anything you might ask. As part of my work for Keppie Careers, I keep a close eye on career and resume trends by reading books, blogs and keeping in touch with my advisory board of professionals in an array of industries.  Ã‚   When Im not writing resumes, coaching, blogging and reading, in the spirit of  practice what you preach, I also  frequently  meet people for informational interviews. I attend Chamber of Commerce meetings, visit close-contact networking groups and seek out an array of networking opportunities.   It is amazing to me how our   need for networking (as entreuprenuers and as job seekers) has spawned a whole industry of people for whom networking is actually their business! Ive been to coffee with real estate professionals, a dentist, investment advisors, life coaches, travel professionals, vitamin sales people, photographers and a salesperson trainer, just to   name a few.   It never ceases to amaze me how much we have to share with each other, and the possible touch points between our businesses or our networks.   Taking the time to meet these professionals offers me the opportunity to share information about my business, but more importantly, I have a chance to learn about programs, events and opportunities I might never have considered.   I also try to share something that will help them and offer to be a resource. In a recession, it is even more important to expand our circles when  job seeking.   Some lessons: Never underestimate the possibility for really interesting common ground.   Some of the meetings Ive least felt like getting up at  6 a.m. to attend have been the most productive in terms of what Ive learned. Just because someone isnt in your field doesnt mean they dont have useful information for you.   (Or you for them.) Our lives intersect in so many points.   Think of someone you consider least likely to be able to share good information with you for your search.   Meet for coffee.   You may be surprised! Open your eyes to the opportunities!   Seek out places to meet new people.   Join an organization, a new health club or take a class.   Google networking opportunities, (your city) and see what comes up!   Then, dont just attend, be an active participant. I attended a great meeting last night.   Its a networking group for women and is held at a home over dinner.   We all shared information about our businesses and there was time for chit-chat.   It was up to all of us to see how we could help each other.   I could have done my elevator pitch, listened to everyone elses, and left.   That wouldnt have been networking, though.   That would have been attending an event.   I challenge you find a new place to meet people and engage them.   You never know how you might be able to help each other.   Networking, or netweaving, is all about giving and getting.   I was a lot of fun for me to be able to connect several of the women at the event last night to other contacts in their fields, even though we had no obvious professional commonalities.   Engage ask questionsbe able to explain who you are and what you do.   Dont underestimate the value of every connection.   Everyone knows someone who knows someone who knows something.   Inserting yourself as part of the chain is a great step in the right direction! Networking sounds too hard? Even if you are shy, you can learn how to be effective at networking!   Keppie Careers will help you.   Need a great resume?   Mock interview?   Contact Keppie Careers.   We advise, encourage and enlighten job seekers and offer a toolbox of practical tips and support.

Kanye West Book Quotes About Money

Kanye West Book Quotes About Money A 200+ page ebook filled with Kanye West quotes recently debuted on the Internet, and â€" unsurprisingly â€" it’s replete with colorful commentary on finances, success, and celebrity. The World According to Kanye, an unauthorized book compiled by writer Herbert Lui, specifically mentions money 24 times. Here are some of Yeezy’s more insightful and/or pointed musings about finances from the book. 1. “Anyone that’s creative understands that there’s no amount of money that can be given to them to make them not want to, or have to, create. There’s no check out and there’s no cheque to stop you from [sic] creative. No pun intended when I’m saying no check.” 2. “We don’t run anything; we’re celebrities. We’re the face of brands. We have to compromise what we say in lyrics so we don’t lose money on a contract.” 3. “So many people talk about their investments or how much money they have but there’s so many rich people who spend a lot of that trying to buy a piece of happiness.” 4. “One of my courses was piano. I actually went to college to learn how to play piano. Talk about wastin’ some money.” 5. “The only luxury is time. The time you spend with your family.” Well said, Kanye, because your $880 tattered sweaters definitely don’t look like luxury items to us.
