Everything You Wanted to Know About Getting a Job in Silicon Valley But Didn’t Know Who to Ask
Lots of great tips here from Guy. The key one for me is admit your mistakes. It’s tough moving through an interview – if you don’t answer a question well, don’t hesitate to take another swing at it. Some others:
- Get on Linked-In. So many of the folks I know are now recruiting through it.
- Don’t use a goofy email address.
- Be early for the interview. Guy makes this point well. Being late due to traffic means you didn’t plan or you aren’t that interested.
- Show massive enthusiasm.

Katie’s Other Blog
Katie Paine, of whom I am a huge fan, has another blog that you should take a minute to read. Her description of the blog says it all:
“This is a blog about surviving and thriving. Personally, I’ve survived one round of breast cancer, two start-up companies, one failed marriage, countless failed relationships, my house burning to the ground and a host of other “character building experiences.” As Connie Kaldor says, however, “Just how much character does any one woman need?” This is a dialog about finding the answer to that all-consuming question.”
I’ve learn’t so much from Katie on marketing measurement and will keep an eye on this one to learn more. Thanks Katie!
Are We Better Or Worse Than IT…
Are communicators or marketers better or worse than IT professionals in measuring ROI? Looking at this article it seems that they are struggling with the same issues as many of us.
Testing Microsoft Live Writer
I am having a play with Microsoft’s new LiveWriter. Looks interesting. If you have Internet Explorer 7 installed, might be worth a dabble. Nice interface but I can’t see any compelling reason to move off Zoundry or Ecto at this stage.
