Be Not Afraid

Quoted from Fast Company’s article:
This Is Generation Flux: Meet The Pioneers Of The New (And Chaotic) Frontier Of Business

What’s “a bitch” for companies can be terror for individuals. The idea of taking risks, of branching out into this ambiguous future, is scary at a moment when the economy is in no hurry to emerge from the doldrums and when unemployment is a national crisis. The security of the 40-year career of the man in the gray-flannel suit may have been overstated, but at least he had a path, a ladder. The new reality is multiple gigs, some of them supershort (see “The Four-Year Career”), with constant pressure to learn new things and adapt to new work situations, and no guarantee that you’ll stay in a single industry. It can be daunting. It can be exhausting. It can also be exhilarating. “Fear holds a lot of people back,” says Raina Kumra, 34. “I’m skill hoarding. Every time I update my resume, I see the path that I didn’t know would be. You keep throwing things into your backpack, and eventually you’ll have everything in your tool kit.”

Raina Kumra is a former documentary filmmaker, digital strategy guru at Wieden+Kennedy, and founder of Light Up Malawi. She is currently contracting with the State Department’s Broadcasting Board of Governors.

the rise of “social media”

janerri — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:30:56 +0000

Reposting from the idealistblog –

Is “social media” on your resume?

Julia Smith from Idealist and colleague Jeremy recently ran a little test to see how frequently “social media” appears in job postings on their site. Here’s how many listings have included the phrase over the last several years:

2007: 25 jobs, o.01 percent.
2008: 125 jobs, 0.27 percent.
2009: 507 jobs, 1.67 percent.
2010: 2,115 jobs, 4.98 percent.
And in 2011 so far, 3,467 jobs, or 7.7 percent of all jobs posted this year.

I got hired in 2008 and ‘social media’ was MOST definitely part of my job. Proud to have scored one of 125 career opps out there. 2008 was a dream year as a technology community manager. Ya know, until about October when the entire economic universe crashed. Win some, lose some.
