Off Topic...sort of

This post is OT (off topic) in that I am not sharing an IT resource but it is related because you do training to further your career...right? Years  ago I wrote a book about sales careers. One of the things I wrote about was the ability to get a sales job with a company who wasn't hiring (see Chapter 5 of the book).

That same strategy is sound advice for someone looking for any job...especially in today's job hunting - soul crushing environment. You simply do not want your future in the hands of a HR person who is probably doing a key-word search of all their applications. Which leads me to Tim Ferris.

Tim Ferris is an author and speaker who is extremely blunt and very intelligent. He had a recent post on his blog about job searching that I think is a "must-read" for anyone who is either looking for a job or knows someone who is in the hunt for a new job.
