Poke the Box

My team just finished reading "Poke the Box," by Seth Godin, and we're discussing it in our team meeting today.

Read the book.

Then tell me if you aren't psyched about getting yourself in the "habit of starting."

The Oxymoron: Career Planning

Career Planning in 2012 ~ light on the planning | heavy on the career.  So, this is what it's come to, eh?

Here's a few facts to curl your hair, baby-boomer:

- U.S. Worker's Median Tenure in Current Job:  4.4 years.

- Average # of Jobs in a Lifetime:  Men - 11.4   

- Average # of Jobs in a Lifetime:  Women - 10.7

According to a few folks spotlighted on FastCompany this month, well...yes.  And we just might want to start getting comfortable with the notion that career planning 2012 looks nothing like its counterpart from the 70's - 80's - 90's....(at least not to those of us born in the 60's).

It's a quick read - check out  the FC article by Anya Kamenetz HERE!

College in America [infographic]

On average, college grads earn more $$ than those without a college degree.  It's difficult to debate otherwise.  However, Fast Company created this infographic about the debate, making two points: 

1. Whatever students are doing in college, it doesn't appear that "education" is the most important part of their day (witness how students spend their hours every week).

2. “Some majors don’t really qualify you for much.” Again, it's hard to argue against this point.  But that also assumes that every student is about nothing but the money.  And hey, if you've seen my fave quote (upper right-hand corner of blog)....well, here it is, whether you like it or not:

"Life is too short not to do something that matters."  

But I digress.

Job Search and Confidentiality [infographic]

I can still remember when the extent of "job search confidentiality" meant trying to print your resume and then fast-walk to the printer before one of your colleagues who might find your resume and discover your "job-search-secret."

Yep, things have changed a lot in the last 20 years.  There's millions of other things to consider (or at least just one):  social media.
