Use Downtime to Listen and Learn
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter encourages you to use your downtime to learn the skills you need to learn in order to find work.
Branding and Networking for Digital Pros and Others
Today, I want to encourage you to spend some time filling the void in your knowledge base about job hunting, and, specifically, about using podcasts.
I believe that the skills didn’t find the job are different than the ones needed to do the job. They complement one another, but you can be tremendous talent at work but never get an interview, never get hired, because you don’t know how to get your resume read, write a great resume, interview well, get recruited on LinkedIn….On and on and on.
When all is said and done, it’s important for you to learn so that you can improve your job search skills. You may have seen some of my YouTube videos; as of now, I have over 2000 videos about job search hiring. There are other ways that you can use your “between activity time” (you are in the car, you are commuting, you are doing other things), you can up the ante and improve your skills.
Stupid Resume Mistakes– Objectives
Yes, I have lots of videos and so do other people.But there’s another way that you can listen and learn… Listen to podcasts. After all, sometimes you’re in a place where watching isn’t appropriate. Yes, I have to job search podcasts of my own – –Job Search Radio and No BS Job Search Advice Radio.They are both very good and has different content. Other people have some very good podcasts as well. As a matter of fact, you can go back to the original Job Search Radio that was on terrestrial radioIn Los Angeles (it has a picture of 2 guys on the front image versus my show, which is a picture of me in the thumbnail).
So, for example, if you want to look for LinkedIn advice, go to iTunes or search the podcast directory that you prefer using an search by LinkedIn. You may interview with Reid Hoffman, The founder of LinkedIn, because he’s been pretty prolific with making himself available for interviews and that may have nothing to do with using LinkedIn. However, there are many podcasts shows that do talk about LinkedIn. Listen to them. If it is about resume writing, I know shows, as well. Whatever the topic, someone is done he podcasts to talk about it. That’s where you can use your commuting time or off-hours time to learn some of the things you need to learn in order to find work.
