Show your Body of Work

by Ian Christie | April 25, 2016

With extra coffee at my side this morning, I wanted to share my thoughts on the concept of our body of work and specifically explore the observation about how little we show what we’ve done. The combined forces of the web, technology and markets keep pushing towards transparency, accessibility and social proof. And it seems to me that we […]

Is Personal Marketing an Obligation

Is Personal Marketing an Obligation

I believe you have unique value to offer the world. There are problems for you to solve. Projects to pursue. And a specific customer / audience to serve, whether that be internal or external to your organization. And to progress in your career, you will need to seek out higher level work to hone your […]

They are Just that Into You

by Ian Christie | April 20, 2009

My website is hosted on the very cool Squarespace platform and I can’t say enough about the folks behind it. Interestingly, the Squarespace folks posted what I thought was something noteworthy. It seems that they have just hired someone, a web developer / designer / blogger / twitterer,  by the name of Jonathan Snook, and well, they are pretty excited about it. Apparently, this is something they have been trying to make happen for quite some time. And now, he is on board. 

Think about it for a second. Shouldn’t we all aim to be this wanted and welcomed when we sell or loan our talent to someone new?

The Marketing Mind-Set for Career Management & Job Search

by Ian Christie | May 12, 2006

I get faced with questions about why marketing is a relevant concept in career managment. Shouldn’t the resume and the interview be about facts? A display of credentials? In an ideal world, we might only have to display our credentials and magically have a job matched for us, as the best candidate. There would be […]

Talking about yourself

by Ian Christie | March 27, 2006

Just off the phone with a Toronto client. She is in the running for a big internal promotion and in my opinion, makes an excellent candidate. However, while she can talk with passion about the organization and her teams, she has a heck of time summoning that energy to talk about and sell herself. This […]

Can Blogging Help Your Career? An introduction…

by Ian Christie | March 24, 2006

Let’s get this out of the way first. Blogs are online journals, incredibly easy to publish, with powerful abilities to link between posts (individual entries), and between other blogs. Bloggers write and post short messages and ideas and comments. They write articles. They link to relevant posts from other sites on the web, and they […]

On Thank-You Notes

by Ian Christie | December 8, 2005

Heather Hamilton at Microsoft has a superb blog. Any long-time readers here and my clients will know that I am a strong advocate of the hand-written post-interview thank-you note. In my opinion, Heather has nailed the subject with her recent post:Heather’s “Marketing and Finance at Microsoft” Blog : Post-interview ‘Thank You’ notes
