Traveling Linky Love

I’m just wrapping up a weekend in Seattle where I was a keynote at the Pacific Northwest President Elect Training Seminar, so I’m a bit late on my weekly best-of. In fact, I can tell that I’ll be running to catch up with myself this week… so here we go!

You can learn more info about these “linky loves” and the background on the students’ assignment here.

• Oregon has the third largest twitter usage per capita of anywhere in the U.S. Sweet!
• Ten really (really!) great tips for acing the job interview (and, as someone remarked to me via twitter, for acing conversations!).
• Josh Bernoff shares that half the pitches he receives are irrelevant and shares some tips and a good pitch.
• Rogue Tweet! this was a great example of a mis-tweet and recovery from the Red Cross. What do you think?
• Need to convince yourself – or others – of social media’s reach. This set of 23 facts (and the sources) should help.
• Often getting things through the approval channels, particularly for publications can be painful. These tips are very useful.
• Thinking about freelancing for fun or profit? This post with 8 steps to consider is really useful. Freelancing can be a good “in between” step (between college and real job) to get a little experience. I would add to this – take on short term projects only. You don’t want to let a client down when you do take a full time job.

Enjoy!
