Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog

I will be giving a presentation later today about interviewing skills, so I have been looking at some career planning info from around teh interweb.

This [link] is a great slideshow about career planning that is a review of Dan Pink’s new book.

Daniel H. Pink is the New York Times bestselling author of A WHOLE NEW MIND and FREE AGENT NATION. He lectures to corporations, associations, and universities around the world on economic transformation and the changing world of work. In 2007, he won a Japan Society Media Fellowship that took him to Tokyo to study the manga industry. Pink lives in Washington, DC, with his wife and their three children.

Another one for the list of reading! Here are the 6 main points:

1. There is no plan.
2. Think strengths, not weaknesses.
3. It’s not about you.
4. Persistence trumps talent.
5. Make excellent mistakes.
6. Leave an imprint.

Those key principles sum up a lot of the work of Marcus Buckingham, Stephen Covey, and Rick Warren. All in one place.

Check it out.
