Job Hunting? Resume is a Traditional MethodBut...

Adopt the marketing mindset

Hit the library, or hit the websites of Social Media Marketing professionals. Learn how to Engage, rather than make a presentation. Seek out methods of Emotional Connection -- which doesn't mean smoothing them up for a date, but rather connecting with them on the level of their interest, and their priority. Set the tone inside their need and fill that need. In-method, change your interview into a collaborative business meeting and start working. Trust me, once any employer is engaged at that level, you have the job. 

Marketers have been tackling the problems of differentiating their product from competitors’ and becoming the go-to consumer brand for years. It’s a constant struggle, and they consistently have to up their game to stay in the race.

Like them, you want to stand out among your peers. Applying these specific marketing tactics will help you leave a lasting impression on potential employers.

I'm...

no... I'm just going to stay out of this one. I'm sure I'll rant later, but really ... what good is that going to do? Anyone that this makes sense to, isn't someone you can talk to. About anything really.

Excuse me...but You Have Snot In your Brain

Take a look at this...Low Interest Story on Traffic Lights As you can tell, I don't really care about the damn traffic lights or this county in Missouri. In fact, I was deep-searching the alec.org web site to see what they were cooking up for local legistrators this week, and had done another search prior, which brought this traffic light story up -- just a normal irrelevant search result (SERP). I was about to close it when this line caught my attention.

City leaders argue that the 69,469 residents who voted for the measure had no business limiting the right of local politicians to use automated ticketing machines.

The voters... The Voters had no right telling the politicians what they could and could not do.

OMG Stop!

Yes, dear readers... more Bill Gates stuff. I promise an aritcle with something interesting tomorrow, but this is blowing my mind.

"Bill Gates is trying to indocrinate our youth ..." with the purpose of (?) seeing the world as he wants them to? Liking him? Turning them all in to Republicans?

Because, yes, after all over the last 20 years with everyone gazing into their computers, every one of those Microsoft users intensly focused and avidly paying attention to the screen hour after hour, year after year... All of those people like Bill now. I see that his indoctrination skills are well honed and effective. We should consider this possibility strongly and watch for signs of our kids suddenly believing that the Republican party is good for them.

Yes, Bill Gates is a solid and unapoligetic Republican, not a democrat. Nor is he much of a tree hugger. Don't mistake his Foundation's work, with being Liberal. He is not liberal at all.

Next?

"Bill Gates Dropped out of School!"

No, he didn't. He finished high school and was a National Merit Scholar. He scored 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT.

But I would like to say, on behalf of everyone who had to drop out of high school because of emergency, having to provide for family or themselves, and then fight claw and tooth to get into college, like myself .. Fuck You. How dare you even bring that up. You think that because a person is a drop out that they are worthless? You fucking piece of shit. Please sit in the back row and chew your cud.

Because of Gates... Are you really that stupid?

To my normal readers... just give this one a pass. I'm so going to Rant.  No, really, watch this. Another Great Show by Last Week Tonight.

Now...

I have been told by too many people now that one acedemic study or another is invalid, because Bill Gates paid for it to happen. I know this is incredibaly hard to believe, but I have actually had people who claim they are High School Science Teachers... yes Science teachers, tell me this amazingly ignorant statement. What is their proof? On what factual grounds do they base this wildly irresponsible statement on?

Education is a Beast Failed, Whipped and Brutalized

Do  you know the average education level of the teachers in your district? Any idea what the qualifications are for being on the your local district school board? These are two facts you should know, because they will undoubtedly alter your perspective instantly.

My first real look at the animal known as Local Education was Colorado in Sept of last year. The StandUp Kids. I was hunting Larry Krieger --
