Links For The Week: 21st December
December 22, 2008 – 11:55 am | by Daryl TayTraveling week means just enough time for a quick round of links
Millennials
My dad sent me this article from Business Week titled “The Millennials Invade the Business Schools“, in a follow-up piece, Queen’s University (where I was attending until recently) was ranked #1 for international business schools, but the point here is really how Gen Y is hitting the business schools and the workforce:
members of this so-called Millennial Generation have been praised and derided in equal measure—for their tech knowhow and idealism, their unrealistic career expectations, and their doting “helicopter” parents, who hover over their kids obsessively
I think that’s really interesting stuff. Will schools react to us well enough? I already feel like my home school doesn’t.
Personal Branding
Dan Schawbel gives us 10 Ways Personal Branding Can Save You From Getting Fired, which I think easily doubles up as 10 ways it can get you hired. Priceless skill, in this recession economy.
That said, Jeremiah Owyang tells us some companies can see a personal brand as a risk, and try to respond to them.
