I really can’t do this one justice with words, you just have to go and see it for yourself. While you may not be interested in a social media career, Bryan’s resume has some aspects that are certainly applicable to any online resume.

In his post Die, resume! Die! Die! Die!, he is obviously playing off a theme started by reporter Tom Foremski and forwarded by Todd Defren to create a Social Media News Release. See this post for background.

If you’re an online advertiser, digital marketer, or social media-focused PR pro, then you know that the one- or two-page resume that you’re supposed to send to the hiring manager or HR coordinator does very little justice to your work.

Here is Bryan’s resume and here is his reasoning behind creating it.

I wonder what you think about this way of presenting your work to a potential employer. I personally like the inventive way it pulls all of Bryan’s online achievements together. What do you think, and how do you plan to present yourself to future employers?

P.S. I suggest that you don’t do what this guy does in his Flickr photo, but hey, that is just me, maybe in his culture or profession it works.

Guanxi is always important in China, but isn’t relationship also important in the rest of the world?  There is no need to differentiate guanxi from relationship, because both words have more or less the same meaning.  Differentiating for the sake of differentiating is not productive.  People who try to differentiate the two do not truly understand guanxi, nor relationship.

Guanxi/relationship is the critical success factor for almost everything.  Without it, it is impossible to proceed to the next step.  Without the next step, the relationship ends.  However, not all relationship counts.  Negative relationship can be very costly.

This is all so obvious.

In order to manage relationship, it has to be measurable, because “what gets measured gets managed.”  But, relationship is intangible, how can it be measured?  Is there a way to measure or quantify relationship?

What do you think?  Post a comment and we’ll discuss about this in 2.0.
