Getting Around the Age Myth | Brazen Careerist
Last week, a friend sent me a link to 12-year-old Adora Svitak’s TEDTalk . And I was thoroughly impressed. In fact, the talk seemed much more eloquent, poignant and focused than many of the talks by the older generation speakers. The world, she says, needs to believe in the possibilities of Utopian ideals as kids do. A few years ago, I worked at a small technology company in Manhattan and I distinctly remember discussing with my boss, the Chief Operations Officer, something about getting more responsibility myself.Back in college I had a pal who had an interesting work philosophy. “Whenever I start a new job,” he told me, “I always work extra hard the first month. That way they view me as a hard worker, even later on when I slack off a bit.” While his lesson was a bit skewed, his point is well taken: You really do never get a second chance to make a great first impression.

If you're trying to land a job at a large company, your resume will likely be looked at by a machine long before a human being sets eyes on it. That means you'll have to write your resume to cater to keyword scanners or risk being shoved off into the rejection pile. However, remember that it'll still need to make sense to human eyes once it's passed the keyword test.
I’m a big believer that Facebook should be kept personal only (but squeaky clean in case a hiring manager finds it), but even with Facebook off the list, that’s still a fair amount of webpages floating out in cyberspace. Instead of only little bits and pieces of who you are and your job search efforts floating out there, combine them together with a personal website to create a comprehensive and searchable personal brand. Consider your personal website to be a focal point to all your other webpages. All of your webpages though need to remain professional. No employer is interested in sifting through Twitter posts on what you thought of the LOST finale, but your personal website can be more flexible. A website is an opportunity to express who you are, your professional goals, and to show an employer a comprehensive picture of what you can offer before you even sit down for an interview.

First you apply to a job online and then you receive a generic email that says “Thank you for your interest in X company.Stefan Boublil`s Black Apartment design brings a new dimension to the glamorous lifestyle. The concept was made for a client that needs no introduction: Cindy Gallop from BBH advertising. The brief for this apartment was short and simple: “ At night, I want to feel like I`m in a Shanghai nightclub… ” And so it is. The locker rooms of the first YMCA in the US became the scene for the designer`s theatrical show. A black-lacquered Chinese box served as inspiration for this aesthetic endeavour.
