Ever wonder what it takes to score a job in the new Twitter-powered world? Watch the video from what Pete Cashmore from Mashable calls the Number One response to a Twitter job posting at Murphy-Goode Winery. I completely agree this combination of graphic design, social media knowledge and interactive marketing is the next iteration of resumes.
But never fear, not everyone has this kind of raw creative juice — or development skills. The key to eclipsing your employment arch-rivals is to bring more knowledge and value. Sounds simple, but the ‘new world’ requires you to consume, analyze and operationalize information at warp speed. You likely need to spend at least 4 hours daily consuming information and constantly evaluating your views and opinions. Any less, and you’ll risk missing the early signs of change embedded in the information flow. And quite frankly, there are a ton of ultra-hungry 20-somethings who now have an equal chance of writing the rules for the next 10 years.
For an impressive example of this, drop a Twitter follow on Evan Williams (@ev). Yeah I know, he’s the CEO and has ~725K followers but he’s an incredible example of 360-degree focus on the business. And don’t forget this is run #2 — Evan brought Blogger out of the ground and managed it through a Google acquisition.
Hey, if Adam doesn’t get the Murphy-Goode job, maybe he’ll join the Fred Squared clan…
