Why did I get this?

This post was not removed.

Seems like FC is having lots of problems.

Anybody know if they care?

Do you care or are you going to take you thoughts and ideas elsewhere?

How to get things done

"The only way to get things done is to START."

START Theory
How to get it done

Simplify - Basic focused idea or goal
Think - Use the brain and other tools to come up with solutions and ideas
Act - The way to get things done is with Action
Review - Results must be measured against the task or goal as success or failure
Tendency - Do more of what works and less of what doesn't

It is possible to start and never finish. But you must start in order to get it done.

Job Searching in Challenging Times

Job searching in challenging times

Firms seem to be very cautious in their hiring. They want top performers that create value many times their cost [wages + benefits]. They always do. But now, the time from the first job post to hire seems longer than usual.

Some of the tools being used in my search...

1. http://www.indeed.com/

2. http://www.oodle.com/job/

3. http://www.careerbuilder.com/

What are some job search sources you use or have used in the past?

Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

RSS - Is it the way of the future?

RSS feeds seem like they have been around a long time. At the same time most people have little knowledge of them. Just last month RSS feeds became more relevant to me. I set up feeds in the past, but did not understand how powerful they could be. Now specialized information comes to my little corner of the Internet. Before, I had some on my iGoogle page. Then somehow I stumbled on to Google Reader.

An average day has me going through 300+ postings. Dont read them all. The good ones get stars and some are shared with others. Some are set up as job alerts [ Indeed.com, Oodle.com and careerbuilder.com ]. Once you create a search that finds jobs that interest you, create an RSS feed and similar search results come to you.

Hopefully you find this post somewhat interesting. As I write more and more, thoughts and writing style should become more focused and clear. If you can leave your thoughts, please do. This site is so new, it is not clear if readers can leave comments.

Have a great day!
