JibberJobber: When I graduated from college, I applied to hundreds of places on a variety of different sites. It can be hard to keep track of the places you apply, how you found them, the status of your applications, interviews etc. This is a great tool for keeping track of your job search and managing your network for future use. The founder, Jason Alba has a great blog with some excellent career advice to check out as well.
Presidents Day: This President’s Day especially, we should take a moment amidst our skiing, shopping, reading, partying or for those poor souls- working, and reflect upon those who have held the highest office in our nation. We have come so far as a nation, and would not be where we are today without the decisions made by Washington, Lincoln and the earliest Presidents in Office.
Guy Kawasaki’s Reality check: I’d recommend this book for all ages, from a college student to a experienced CEO. He gives great advice on a number of issues, from applying to jobs, hiring, public speaking, improving your business skills, pitching, and much more. It’s advice that will not only improve your personal brand or business but your life skills in general- yes it’s that awesome. This isn’t a book you can read in a night. To get the best out of it have a pencil or stickies in hand and take notes- there’s far too much great information in this book to skim over. Check out his blog “how to change the world.”
Smittens: The Snuggies are soooo yesterday. I’d tell you what this is but it would ruin the fun of visiting the site for the first time and seeing the couple on the homepage. I’d rather go mitten-less in the snow, but I’ve got to give it to them- like true entrepreneurs they saw a common problem, and solved it.
How to talk to Girls by Alec Greven: If you are a guy and looking for some romantic advice this Valentines Day, you might want to purchase this book by 9 year old Alec Greven. His tips are hilarious from, ” Your goal is to make sure she does most of the talking so then you can’t mess up” (very wise 9 year old), and my personal favorite ” control your hyperness- cut down on the sugar if you have to.” Go out and buy it!
Media Bistro: This site is an excellent online source for finding a media job. They have everything from media news, freelance marketplace, job board, courses and seminars, events and blog links.
Great post! Awesome find with the Media Bistro. I wish I knew about this before. Keep up the great work
I’d like to see where this Alec kids ends up in 10-15 years. Will he still be so insightful?
