You’re looking for a new career and want to make sure you’re covering all the bases. Who should you be talking to?
You want to be talking to anyone that can help you with a job search, more education, or a career relocation. Think about past and present co-workers, manager’s, friends with similar interests, business group acquaintances, alumni from your university, or even some of those you’ve met met online or offline at networking events.

Following your passions can greatly help you in gaining admittance to universities. Admissions committees want passionate students to be on their campus because it makes their college more lively and interesting. When it comes to the more selective colleges, I can’t stress enough how much the uniqueness factor seems to play a role in admissions. Admissions officers have to go through tons of statistically similar applicants all the time. If we can’t be the smartest applicants in the pool, at least be the one who makes that bored admissions officer smile in interest as he or she reads our application.

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. [ Michael Jordan ]

“Many changes have happened in the job market since 20 years ago, since 10 years ago – since last October” … “Why the elevator pitch doesn’t work,” Anderson said, “is that nobody cares about you. They care about themselves. You have to change your mindset from self-serving to serving others.”
